Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a well-known innovator in outer space, particularly in its search for "life out there". JPL is now innovating in the physical space to improve “life here". AWS IoT is critical to their innovations. See a re:Invent preview about how JPL, as an early adopter of AWS IoT, has prototyped voice control to ask questions of the room, the budget, or the system. They’ve also used it for controlling lights and sound to detect cyber security threats, rapid prototyping of robots, low-cost virtual windows to the outside, and much more. The results have been excellent. JPL will demonstrate and talk about these prototypes, including what worked and what didn’t. They will also share the promise integrated serverless computing holds.

12. Are we alone?
How do we protect Mother Earth?
How do we divert an asteroid?
Can we find Earth 2.0?
Is/was there life on Mars?
How did the Universe form? Where is it headed?

13. Methodology and Agenda
1. Predict human behavior to tell us what is worth trying
2. Forecast the relevant technologies
3. Prototype and demo them quickly with relevant
use cases with our own data to gain feedback
and other collaborators
4. Determine the impact and double down on the
important ones

14. Human Behavior IT Trends, 2015-2018
WHO: INTREPRENEURS • MAKERS • CROWD/PARTNERS • FROM EVERYWHERE AT ANY TIME
HOW: OPEN • AGILE • PROTOTYPING • CROWD SOURCING • CONSUMERIZATION
WHAT: SMART DATA • ANALYTICS • CLOUD • DEEP LEARNING
WHAT: INTERNET OF THINGS • INNOVATION VIA COMBINATIONS
WHAT: NATURAL USER INTERFACES • WEARABLES • CONVERSATION UI
CHALLENGES: CHAOTIC ARCHITECTURE • AUTOMATION • CYBER SECURITY
Foretells what technologies can/will be adopted in the enterprise

17. The First of JPL’s IoT Use Cases
There’s lots of “outer” space…but not
much office space!
Conference room 2.0
Because the internet isn’t very fast
on Europa…
IoT…without the cloud
Seeing the bigger picture thanks to
connected objects
Situational awareness

18. Conference Room of the Future
Conference room 2.0
• Not enough space
• Wasted time to set up the room
• Schedules are not respected
IoT Solution
• Talk to the room / hit a button to set
up the room
• Device detection of availability and
schedule comparison
• Real-time room suggestion

23. Situational Awareness
• View most important metrics
• Be alerted effectively
• Makes sense of the data
Situational awareness IoT Solution
• Use all your senses
• More efficient alerts
• Natural interface to the data

26. IoT “Without the Cloud”?
• Data regulation
• Network costs / Latency
• Makes sense of the data
IoT…without the cloud IoT Solution
• Aggregate/Filter/… locally
• Same programming model
• Still communicates locally
