What Is Geospatial Technology Anyway?
The goal of this blog is to bridge the gap between the nerds of the geospatial industry and those who are often left wondering what the heck we’re talking about when we rave over the wide world of geospatial technology. I love the business, technical, and operational aspects of the geospatial industry, they’re exciting! But […]
What Does Google’s RT-2 Mean for the Geospatial Industry?
Google’s artificial intelligence lab recently published a new paper explaining the development of Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2), a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model that “learns from both web and robotics data, and translates this knowledge into generalized instructions for robotic control.” This technology promises to upend many industries, as robots will be able to perform increasingly complex tasks […]
Can Utilities Realize Meaningful ROI from EO Data Without Near Total Automation?
Recent posts by Matt Sheehan highlighting the beauty and potential of fusing various satellite collected geospatial data sets to mitigate utility risk from vegetation have got me thinking: can this type of advanced geospatial technology produce meaningful ROI without near total automation? Don’t get me wrong, I love the technology, it’s awesome, beautiful, and allows […]
