System Architecture

Sensing, computing, decisions and action

A model is one component. What the system observes, where computation runs, how decisions are applied and how the system responds to change all shape its capability.

ENVIRONMENT SENSING DATA COMPUTE MODELS DECISION APPLICATION EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT RETURNS AS NEW OBSERVATION THE ARCHITECTURE CHANGES WITH THE PROBLEM Some systems end in software. Others ultimately connect decisions to physical action.

The effect on the environment returns as a new observation.

The architecture changes with the problem

Some systems end in software. Others ultimately connect decisions to physical action.

Architecture of an intelligent system, from observation to effect.

AI & Computing

Computing and deployment architecture

Processing may sit within a device, on a local system, in shared infrastructure or in hosted compute. Data residency, latency, connectivity, control and cost determine where it belongs.

Distributed and shared computing
Open questions
Performance, cost and deployment assumptions.

Where computation happens is itself an engineering decision.

R&D Program · Modular Intelligent Systems

Modular intelligent systems research

The modular robotics and electronics concept organises sensing, computation, communication and actuation into reusable modules that also form part of the machine’s structure.

Level 01 · The system

Connected machine functions

Sensing, computing and actuation sit within a structural frame and draw power. Each needs a mechanical, electrical and data connection to the rest of the machine.

Level 02 · The interface

Mechanical, electrical and data interfaces

The concept combines mounting, power and data in one common interface, intended to let the same module be reused across different machines.

Level 03 · The requirements

Interface requirements

  1. Mount — locate and retain modules within the system.
  2. Power — provide electrical connection to each module.
  3. Data — exchange information across the system.

Objective
Define reusable components that contribute both function and structure to the machines they form.
Work undertaken
Initial definition of core interface requirements covering mechanical mounting, electrical power and data, together with functional module categories for sensing, computing, communication and actuation.
Why it matters
A shared interface would reduce redesign when machine functions are reused across systems.
