AI Powered Robot Homes Would Reduce Covid Deaths in Nursing Homes

LED lighting enables you to change the brightness, intensity, and color of the lights. With Caspar, enhance apartment ambiance with automated lighting and scenes.

Caspar’s automated window shades enhance convenience, safety, comfort, and beauty for residents. Manually opening and closing shades can be a pain. With Caspar, curtains automatically work around residents’ schedules.

Distributed AI (D-AI) is enabling rapid progress on smart IoT systems, homes, and cities. D-AI refers to any AI system with discrete AI subsystems that can be combined to create ensemble-intelligences. We introduce a Privacy-Preserving IoT Cloud (PPIC) optimized to host D-AI applications on the edge.

Chefs and food enthusiasts typically have a timer in the kitchen. However, with Caspar, you do not need to spend time looking for that timer.

COVID-19 has motivated an increase in how much people wash their hands and reduced the rate at which they touch physical surfaces without gloves. And after touching a solid surface, they disinfect it. Caspar’s automation technology helps people avoid touching possibly infected surfaces (e.g., switch).

Covid has exposed just how vulnerable seniors are who live in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Caspar.AI’s vision is to fundamentally change how seniors are in their homes and how assisted living facilities are run.

The question we’ve been talking about centers on the proper way to create a privacy-preserving IoT infrastructure. 

National Science Foundation (NSF) awards $337,432 to one of CASPAR’s university partners (University of Virginia) for enhancing the performance, comfort and health of occupants in smart buildings.

“The network is the computer.”

That’s the old Sun Microsystems slogan coined by Sun computer scientist and researcher John Gage. The slogan predated cloud computing, but it’s a great way to envision the cloud idea.

In 1995, I remember “building your own computer” was fashionable. My neighbor built one and he instantly became the most popular kid in the area.
