Society is badly in need of automation and robotics. The issue is that suddenly the tidal wave of demand has been met with supply chain and labor shortages. Expert labor that understands the old paradigm, plus the new at the same time pretty much does not exist.
This gap is real.
Caleb Eastman and I have talked quite a bit on this topic of total digitization universality. Otherwise old systems can’t talk to new. We’ve even a new startup HoneyBadger Controls specifically to be a new type of Zapier of Industrial IoT. Zapier by the way, is an amazing piece of technology that Zaps data back and forth between SaaS applications so you don’t have to go ask your dev team to do it. Thanks to Andy Hayes for telling me about Zapier years ago. It basically put my custom integrations business out of business, but saved thousands of dollars in the meantime for customers.
We’re in stealth mode still but basically we just love badgers and see a real need for some better cross-domain connectivity.
Amazon is great a creating cloud product. For years we have used AWS for websites, databases, machine learning, application development, and more. We currently utilize AWS’s IoT Core framework which is a great way to get started managing multiple connected devices.
The way it works is elegant but also fairly simple:
-Install a certificate on your device
-Device pings data to an AWS server
-You can route the data to a variety of services, or process it via a Lambda
-Security and device management is set up for you so that you can work on your hardware and software!
The Roaring ’20s are Here
A new decade is here. The “Roaring ’20s”. It almost feels like a new era emerging!
One of the things we wanted to do at Robauto is set some moonshot goals for the upcoming years. We want to put to work our platform and years of experience launching community driven technology projects. Our expertise is in hardware and software. Robotics, Machine Learning and IoT Networks as well as Sensors and Drones are what we can contribute.
Let’s Figure out a Smart Way to Detect and Extinguish Wildfires
Unfortunately one of the things likely to be roaring during the ’20s is our forests. As climates change and human populations expand, wildfire is a growing problem. This is an important issue for everyone. Being a Colorado company, Robauto has even more incentive to help protect and preserve our natural forests. We also think it’s a perfect example of how technology and people can work together to help their communities in a good, non-intrusive way.
Machine learning, community involvement and IoT networks can help. In fact, detecting, preventing and managing wildfire is the perfect application of sensors, data, intelligence, and automation. We are early in our product development process and need input from fire experts, community members and engineering collaborators.
Collaborators Wanted: Wildfire XPrize Project
We need your help. We’ve come up with a few general principles we want to adhere to but otherwise are in the information gathering phase.
