Device Democracy - Jetbot on ThingsLedger Demo(Blockchain + IoT + AI + Robotics)
ThingsLedger(thingsledger.com) is a blockchain based IoT platform, it enables IoT device do two-way interaction with smart contracts, and automates decentralized IoT application development with smart contract/dapp semiauto-generation functions. Device Democracy is a highly possible future for IoT which is brought out by IBM, check the paper here: https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/Y5O... JetBot is an AI robot based on NVIDIA Jetson Nano, find more here: https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/jetbot The demo is simulating an autonomous robot doing (wireless)battery charging and M2M payment to the charging station for itself via smart contracts on blockchain. The robot has a camera in front and can do autonomous driving by recogonizing tape on the table, which is made circle due to limitations. The device side can receive commands(start/stop/detect charging station) from smart contract(DApp) and can also sync current state(like battery, memory usage and other sensors) to the blockchain constantly. Other interaction between device and the virtial charging station(red block on the tape road, a virtual device written in python, check top-left screen) like payments and charging is all automatic and no human is involved. The dapp and smart contract used in the demo is mostly auto-generated and can be hot edited/deployed online within the platform. You can also start a private/consortium blockchain with the build-in BaaS service. The ThingsLedger platform can also enable other cool ideas like autonomous service drones, smart contract based car insurance, or realtime logistic sensor/gps tracking.
