Welcome to Mprove Home Automation's Blog...I am your host, Joshua Mendez. I discuss all that is technology and it's daily integration.
As a former computer science teacher, I remember fixing a lot of devices, for students and teachers alike. What astonished me the most was the pure panic that these individuals felt when their specific device was no longer accessible or functioning. The tears, the profanity and overall frustration was SO apparent. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have fallen victim to this as well; I understand the importance of my phone or my laptop. Long gone are the days that technology was “just” a tool, its integration is undeniable.
I know many of us want the "latest and greatest". However, I am a big believer in finding ways to reuse and/or repurpose old technology. As shown here, a client's son was in search of a Chromebook. In order to save a couple hundred dollars. I took an old Samsung S8 and used DEX to convert the phone into a portable Chromebook.
Think about how you can repurpose technology this holiday season.
Wishing everyone happy holidays and a blessed time with family and friends. A special thanks to those that have continued to support our services and for your continued business.

2023 will be a significant year in our technological “journey” as a society. With the advancement of AI and machine learning, the level of integration with our daily technology will only grow. In years past, I witness the panic and sheer frustration when a middle school student or teacher lost a mobile device. This dependency will exponentially strengthen in areas of commercial business and personal use. From the content creator to the software developer; the way we value time will be heavily influenced by the technology that is coming our way…exciting times indeed!

Robotic vision is a field of robotics that focuses on enabling robots to perceive and understand their environment through the use of visual sensors, such as cameras or laser scanners. The goal of robotic vision is to provide robots with the ability to "see" and interpret visual data, so that they can perform tasks that require visual perception, such as object recognition, tracking, and navigation.
Robotic vision has many applications in various fields, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. For example, in manufacturing, robotic vision can be used to automate the assembly of complex products by enabling robots to recognize and manipulate different parts. In healthcare, robotic vision can be used to assist surgeons during complex procedures by providing real-time feedback on the patient's anatomy. In agriculture, robotic vision can be used to automate tasks such as crop monitoring and harvesting by enabling robots to identify and locate crops. Learn more at the link below.
