We will create a somewhat concrete, yet still hypothetical example. We’ll illustrate the total cost over a year (365 days) of operation for the following scenario: The system is a free-roaming four legged front-loader robot. It has two arms to handle parcels and packages. The arms have sensors for weight and surface characteristics – “gentleContinue reading “Smart system cost”

Development cost of an AI system
Ainolabs talks about systems, entities that are operated for defined purposes and with expectations of generating value to their developers, owners, users and other stakeholders. Value depends on the business case. The cost can be estimated, and we’ll get to this formulaic expression below: Systems are developed, launched, updated, supported and eventually replaced or discarded.Continue reading “Development cost of an AI system”
Elements of Trust
An essential part of the architecture for continuous machine learning are the trust relationships between components and participants of a system and with possible external parties – contributing actors. Content credentials https://contentcredentials.org/ attempts to address trust by placing a mark on content. This assumes that the recipient trusts the mark, and that the marks areContinue reading “Elements of Trust”
Architecture for Continuous Machine Learning
Ainolabs architecture for Continous Machine Learning Systems (CMLS) is designed to support non-interrupted operation, modular construction, system and data integrity, scalability in system design and operation and robust continuous operation. These capabilities result in a machine learning system that can meet requirements on privacy, confidentiality and adapt to changing circumstances. The blocks and the wholeContinue reading “Architecture for Continuous Machine Learning”
Balls, cubes and pyramids
Or — how to create concepts? Consider a robot hand exploring its environment by touch alone. Add visual aspect, or a camera. Then there is verbal side, written and spoken, text seen and voices heard. The hand is given a bunch of objects, the camera is viewing the action and the verbal – bot, chatgptContinue reading “Balls, cubes and pyramids”
How to build a Barista Robot of parts?
Ainolabs’ search for Holy Grail is to build sufficiently advanced system to can replace an experienced professional. That Holy Grail is challenging for several reasons, but mostly because the way to do that would be to collect an immense amount of multi-channel data about professional environment and then to process that into a single, all-encompassingContinue reading “How to build a Barista Robot of parts?”
Innovation is Change
Innovation is change, change in making a new product, new feature, new market need – change in supply and demand
Who can you trust?
Setting computers and technical gadgets aside for a moment – who and what can you trust? If you trust something to happen – sunrise tomorrow – you perhaps rely on substantial past experience. A philosopher might point out that past experience does not guarantee future: It is somewhat possible that the sun has collapsed 8Continue reading “Who can you trust?”

Isn’t it better to play one more round of Clash Royale, maybe clean the cupboards, fold linen or whatever. Professionally procrastination comes into play when you lose inspiration. An inspired mindContinue reading “Procrastination”
Innovation and change

Under what circumstances would the customers see price changes as something new, as an innovation? How small a change can be to count as novel? The answers depend on the specificsContinue reading “Innovation and change”
