Research
Long-form technical studies on robotics, space systems, offshore engineering, and applied AI.
A plain-English technical guide to the physical system behind AI infrastructure: power, cooling, network fabrics, accelerators, suppliers, operations, staffing, security, and the limits that appear when cloud capacity becomes real machinery.
A source-backed guide to using Porter's Five Forces in technical markets: what the framework still gets right, where it breaks, and how to turn it into a decision workflow for entry, funding, buying, partnering, or walking away.
A research summary on how universities can build applied artificial intelligence hubs around government, academia, and industry by turning robotics data from offshore, agriculture, logistics, manufacturing, and public infrastructure into tested field systems.
An impartial research summary on camera-based hand tracking, XR hand skeletons, monocular 3D reconstruction, and the limits of using hand pose as an interface for robot-arm teleoperation.
A source-dense research brief on humanoid robotics progress: what changed in hardware and AI, which deployments are real, where economics close first, why safety remains the gating system, and what timelines are defensible.
A standards-backed design memo for globe-centered fleet interfaces: alarm triage, edge architecture, human factors, geospatial failure modes, and C2 UX for autonomous robots in air, land, and water.
A research map of agricultural automation from greenhouse cells and spray drones to autonomous tractors, RTK guidance, ISOBUS, and robot fleets: what already pays, what still breaks, and what infrastructure has to exist before autonomy becomes normal farm capacity.
A research map of the evidence problem at battery handoff: what data is required at model, pack, shipment, test, and status-change level; which actors have authority; and how repair, reuse, repurposing, remanufacturing, recycling, and waste decisions fail.
Eighteen months of hardware on the surface have changed the ISRU conversation. Oxygen-from-regolith is now a TRL 6 problem. Polar water mining is still a prospecting problem. The first useful lunar plant will not be the one most people are pitching.
