Autonomous Agents Network Blueprint PoC Document

Summary

Purpose of the PoC

We will verify the followings without cloud connectivity.

Agents should exchange work instructions and warnings about hazards and events
Agents should recognize authorized humans and respond to commands and instructions
Agents can configure and reconfigure mesh P2P network automatically to achieve the above things

Test and Demo Scenario

PoC stage
We will have the following 3 steps in this PoC.
1 step:
Build an open-source software stack on one small AI server which is treated as robot or drone, enabling communication with humans about work instructions and warning about hazards and events.

2 step:
Extend the above environment to two servers, which are treated as two robots or drones.
Configure mesh network with these tow servers.

3 step:
Add actual robots or drones to the above environment and configure mesh network between servers, robots and drones.
Equipment
1. Small low SWaP server
2. Sensors
  connected via USB ports or RS-232 ports. Note that USB ports allow development / testing with standard laptops
  1. Cameras
  2. Microphone
  3. LiDAR and other sensor to detect objects
3. Standard WiFi
4. HaLow WiFi
5. V2X Extension
Environment
1. Static Demo Setup
  for example tradeshow, conferences, meetups, etc
  connect HDMI display to server to show analytics, statistics, real-time operation
Scenario
Configure Mesh network automatically between small form factor server.
Extend Mesh network automatically with new small form factor server.
Reconfigure Mesh network automatically if place of small form factor server change.
Transmit instructions from human to each server
