Joe Speed living on the edge at ADLINK IoT

I’ve been working on the edge for a long time. For many years I’ve known edge and proximal IoT are where the most interesting problems live. I was really pushing edge years ago back when most were trying to get their head around cloud. This is why after finally getting MQTT made open in 2013 as the foundation for Eclipse IoT, I collaborated to make open RSMB (really small message broker) and MQTT-SN (MQTT for sensor networks) via Eclipse IoT. And shepherded open source proximal IoT at Linux Foundation.

I’ve always thought highly of ADLINK Technology. Worked with this IBM partner for on-ramp to IBM Watson IoT and moving predictive analytics workloads to the edge. I absolutely loved what ADLINK, Intel and IBM did for the fab’s chillers.

ADLINK reached out to talk about joining. I told them very interesting but can’t abandon the #AccessibleOlli program and community that I’d worked so hard to build especially with the upcoming CES 2018 unveiling of this accessibility lab. So I was floored when their execs said “We love #AccessibleOlli too! Join and do it full time through CES. And we’ll commit tech & people through 2018 to ensure #AccessibleOlli’s success in collaboration with CTA Foundation, IBM, Local Motors and the rest of the community.”

ADLINK cares about things I care about. Autonomous & robotics. IoT enabled HMI. Edge computing. Sensor fusion. Accessibility & inclusion. Co-creation and design thinking. Crowdsourcing and open data. And they’re successful living 100% on the edge. Happy customers, lots of revenue, growing fast. These are things I can get behind.

Will be talking more about this with the always terrific Steve Ewell of CTA Foundation at CES 2018 Tuesday 12:30PM CTA Center Stage, Grand Lobby. Hope to see you at CES!

create #AccessibleOlli world’s most accessible bus for aging & disabled

Urban mobility is a $1.5T market affecting 4 billion people. Our aging and disabled citizens are underserved by current transportation systems. Societal pressures and regulations require that everyone make all of their transportation fully accessible.

#AccessibleOlli is crowdsourced effort for you & your community to use cognitive & IoT technologies, design thinking & #STEM with schools to create the “world’s most accessible mobility” for aging & disabled. With Olli self-driving shuttle from Local Motors as testbed for integrating accessible designs and prototypes you create in a global design challenge and 9 city worldwide Watson IoT hackathon series. Your work culminates in CES `18 #AccessibleOlli exhibition with your #AccessibleOlli autonomous shuttle interacting with the public and assistive technologies such as autonomous wheelchairs.

#AccessibleOlli needs your insights and sweat to solve accessibility challenges. As with Olli, your #AccessibleOlli contributions are portable to cars, elevators, hotels, hospitals, trains and homes.

Get on the bus! Join CTA Foundation, AARP, MIT, PTECH schools, ASU, Local Motors, Ultrahaptics, what3words, Mapbox, Front Porch, IBM Accessibility, Watson IoT AutoLAB, cities pursuing #AccessibleOlli grants, and all others that want to contribute. IBMers check out ibm.biz/accessibleolli

Need people with disabilities, accessible design, IoT, robotics, directed audio, diarization, augmented reality, haptics, ultrasonic haptics, machine vision, multi-modal transportation, and recommend technologies to complete your vision for the “world’s most accessible transportation”.

#AccessibleOlli twitter and #AccessibleOlli LinkedIn Share your love for what we’re doing with @localmotors and our community.

cognitive mobility and IoT cars

Some of the things I’ve collaborated to make:

Joe Speed IoT auto innovations

  • #AccessibleOlli crowdsourced cognitive self-driving transportation for aging & disabled. This is being developed in partnership with Local Motors, IBM Accessibility, CTA Foundation and many others including MIT and Princeton. It has been accepted for AI XPRIZE and featured in MIT Tech Review#AccessibleOlli
  • Olli cognitive self-driving shuttle. Brought Local Motors and IBM together and lead this co-creation of future of cognitive mobility.
  • Cognitive Mobility prototypes for automakers. Combining Watson IoT for Automotive, Watson, Weather, Twitter, Bluemix, Twilio, Mapbox and other technologies into an in-vehicle cognitive experiences.
  • “IoT Auto” 3D Printed advanced technology vehicle with Local Motors, Octoblu’s Meshblu, Link Motion instrument cluster & infotainment on NXP i.MX with ARM TrustZone, and IBM technologies including IoT Foundation, Bluemix, MobileFirst (Worklight), Streams, NodeRED, MQTT. Exhibited at IBM Insight `15 and SEMA `15.

  • aftermarket”car compute” on-ramp to IBM IoT + Bluemix cloud. Connects cars to our IBM cloud in seconds.
  • Continental’s prototype IoT+Big Data Connected Car cloud on Intel powered Softlayer cloud for V2V and “highly automated” driving.  Uses MQTT, Eclipse Paho, MessageSight (Intel Inside) IoT appliance, Streams, NodeRed and other components.  Here is German Chancellor Angela Merkel reviewing it.

“Makers & Co-Creation” with AT&T, GE FirstBuild, Local Motors at AllSeen Alliance Summit

Here is our recent panel from the AllSeen Alliance Summit, like any great movie it becomes even more riveting in the 3rd act 🙂 http://youtu.be/VAM1iKpUD2U
We had lots of great discussion and activity at our collaboration project’s recent event.
Alex is AT&T’s global developer evangelist, running 30 events a year with thousands of developers and makers.   In fact today he is in Manila running one right now.
John is the head of connected devices for GE Appliances and connectivity maker at FirstBuild which does crowdsourced home appliances, hosts makerfaire, etc.

Jay is the founder of Local Motors and has a team of 130,000 people that collaborate on open hardware design of new cars, motorcycles, and other things that roll.  Like what I and AllSeen Alliance and Linux Foundation do for collaborative software development, Jay‘s community does for hardware.  They recently 3D printed a car.  Google says there were 31,400 news items about that.  http://www.cnet.com/news/local-motors-strati-is-the-worlds-first-3d-printed-car/

I’m also a fan of Tenaya Hurst of dog hunter / Linino.  She’s a mad maker of wearables, quite awesome.  She is who you hear asking this panel about the importance of failure.  She even makes her own music videos 🙂

AllSeen Alliance: THIS is what collaboration looks like

AllSeen Alliance Summit was a lot of fun.  Expected 80 people but instead had 224 people from 100 companies and 19 countries come to collaborate. This gives you an idea of what collaboration looks like:

AllSeen Alliance Summit 2014

Want to know how things work?  We collaborate.  Community is completely open and transparent.  We’re all about collaborating, adopting the best standards and creating open source IoT software people can just take and use to create things.  Don’t even have to be a member.

IoT MQTT handy links

here is some info I gave an automaker tonight, thought it might help others:

A little bit of Spring and MQTT

thoughts on using Spring and MQTT from one of my favorite people. This is the best way to MQTT enable your Java app servers, though obviously you can also use JMS if your MQTT broker (for example MessageSight) supports that too.  But if your java app servers are in one location and your MQTT broker is in another, i.e. cloud then this is the way.

The lost outpost

I’ve been involved with Spring (the Java framework, not the season…) for a couple of years now – since I joined VMware in 2012 through the former SpringSource organisation in the UK – and I’ve remained “involved” with it through my transition to Pivotal and the framework’s evolution into Spring 4 / Spring.IO under Pivotal’s stewardship.

To be clear, although I’ve been a “Java guy” / hacker through my time at IBM, I have never been a hardcore JEE coder, and my knowledge of Spring itself has always been limited. My good buddy Josh (MISTER Spring, no less) has done his best to encourage me, I briefly played with Spring Shell last year with @pidster, and the brilliant work done by the Spring Boot guys has been helpful in making me look at Spring again (I spoke about Boot – very briefly, as a newcomer to it –…
