225: When Toasters Attack

Embedded.fm · 7 Dec 2017 · 1h 03m · Episode 225

What this episode covers

Maria Gorlatova, a research scholar at Princeton University, discusses the shift from centralized cloud computing to 'fog' and 'edge' computing architectures. She explains how the OpenFog Consortium is standardizing these distributed systems to handle the data avalanche from IoT devices, improve security through local processing, and enable low-latency applications like augmented reality and autonomous driving. Gorlatova highlights the role of federated learning in preserving privacy and the convergence of cloud and edge capabilities provided by major tech companies.

    Q&A with Rob Tiffany Part 2: Digital Twins, Edge Vs Cloud Computing & Industrial IoT

    Rob Tiffany, Managing Director at Digital Insights, and Bill Flaherty, Director of Hardware Engineering at Very, discuss industrial IoT strategies with host Ryan Prosser. They explain how digital twins allow risk-averse organizations to simulate processes and de-risk changes without physical intervention, while emphasizing the need for partners who understand end-to-end systems. The conversation contrasts edge versus cloud computing, arguing that edge compute is only justified for low-latency or privacy-critical tasks, and explores how increased computational power enables greater mission agility and autonomy in modern space exploration compared to the Apollo era.

    How Does an IoT System Actually Work? Pt. 2 | #IoTExplained E005

    Ryan Chacone, editor-in-chief of IoT For All, explains the concept of edge computing in IoT systems as a way to bypass cloud connectivity for latency-sensitive applications. He contrasts cloud processing with local processing on gateways or devices, using self-driving cars and security cameras as primary examples. The discussion highlights how local algorithms reduce data transmission costs and improve response times by filtering or acting on data at the 'edge' of the network.
