Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has allowed devices to connect to external services and utilize outside information to create knowledge about their tasks and decide more intelligently regarding their processes. This paper presents an architecture to develop a novel autonomous snowblower concept that uses IoT to intelligently determine the best times to clear a driveway. By examining weather data for the area of operation, the snowblower will combine computer vision and Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) to effectively clear an area of snow before accumulation becomes too much for the electric motors to handle. This combination of IoT and conventional automation allows for a tradeoff between intelligence and power. The developed framework shows the benefits of IoT on a device like this, and how a lower power device, used intelligently, can be an effective solution for a larger problem.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
