Dusty Robotics’ Post

For now over a year I have had notes about a collection of initiatives that relate loosely under transport in my home state that I cleaned up and sent through to the Ministers office as executive summaries. The responses I have received are nothing short of absolutely disgusting level of attention to detail and demonstrate deeply concerning understanding of basic concepts. I am aware of the structure of government technology, I have consulted for them a few times specifically on 'too hard basket' projects that multiple agencies and individuals had already attempted and not resolved. I am aware of the state of their technology advisory panels (I can recall one time that one of their advisory panels rejected a data lake proposal because they needed a solution that "would store disparate types of data but be like a database" - that is the laymen's description of a data lake). They were on a range of topics from scalable smart city architecture (costed to include a revenue path to support local businesses in addition to emergency services and other department needs), need to update existing out of date legislation from petrol based power measures to universal ones to support electric motors, revisions to the state of autonomous vehicles legislation specifically for futureproofing robotics, and also one that was specifically about using edge based infrastructure to tackle the leading cause of accidents across the state which represents 1 Billion AUD per annum for Qld voters and drivers. Most of these points were things I was asked about when I was doing consulting/solution architecture 8 years prior and since then there has been no positive movement (or movement at all in some cases even with alternate solutions). The first few responses were that of go away. The next response was a formal response which was go away. The following response which required involving 2 different elected offices was a response to 3 of 6 items which I can only describe as if you asked for the current time and they responded with how they like a nice biscuit. I forever do not know why responding to one point as to how they joined a panel 2 years prior and not contributed to that panel was seen as a positive response. Now over the course of 2 months I have been attempting to speak with a ministers office in person instead of being rejected by email and I just received another go away email, not from the ministers office but from the department of transport. There is a very VERY good reason that highly technical people who like to get things done do not want to work for government agencies if they can help it.

Check out the new blog article and learn how Rugged Robotics can get your data center or warehouse running WEEKS earlier!?

Most commercial industries are seeing a rise in the use of autonomous systems, and as technology gets more widely available, so does the need for industrial tough solutions. This blog gives insight on the demands for autonomy from business and industrial domains, and looks at how Systel contributes to the delivery of cutting-edge rugged computing to meet these sectors' goals for autonomy. https://lnkd.in/gv6xRsSv

The rise in consumer demand for increasing levels of automated driver and safety features has fanned the debate on whether vehicles' electrical and electronic (E/E) processing architecture should be a centralized compute processing or distributed intelligence approach. indie’s Chet Babla dives into this topic with AutoVision News. By leveraging edge computing and AI to enhance the capabilities and reliability of #ADAS, distributed intelligence architecture not only improves real-time decision-making and processing efficiency but is also a more scalable and cost-effective solution. The adoption of #distributedintelligence architecture signifies a major step forward to achieving OEMs need for scalable vehicle active safety systems.
