Gaurav Pokharkar

Autonomy isn't about taking control away - it's about giving safety back.

Nine years in automotive, seven of them in ADAS - building and validating the systems that make autonomous vehicles and intelligent machines reliable in the real world. My work spans Ford, Valeo, and Woven by Toyota, where I develop test strategies, build automation pipelines, and work at the boundary of hardware and software to prove that complex systems do what they're supposed to.

Key wins: cut data analysis time by 60–70% with HPC automation, owned $1M+ engineering change programs as the primary OEM interface at Valeo, and resolved 60+ production stop-ship issues across camera and sensor feature lines. Technical toolkit: Python, ROS, MATLAB, sensor fusion, a bit of C++ and test hardware from OXTS GNSS to ABD robots.

My interest in intelligent systems doesn't stop at vehicles. I'm drawn to any domain where rigorous validation, sensor integration, and systems thinking determine whether a product is safe to deploy - including robotics, surgical systems, consumer electronics and medical devices.

IEEE Senior Member. Recent speaker at the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society on testing and validation challenges in ADAS and autonomous systems. I build Raspberry Pi projects and 3D-print practical solutions in my spare time - curiosity doesn't clock out.

Open to connecting if you're working on intelligent, safety-critical systems of any kind.

Mossaab Souaissa est DSI dans l’industrie textile depuis plus de 11 ans, avec une expérience terrain sur les systèmes ERP, MES, infrastructure et automatisation de production.

Il développe également, via MSIA Systems, des projets de recherche indépendants autour de l’IA souveraine, dont PRISM : PRISM Key 153 part d’une idée simple : dans un contexte professionnel ou industriel, le vrai sujet n’est pas seulement de faire répondre un modèle, mais de s’assurer qu’il est légitime à répondre, dans le bon domaine, sous les bonnes contraintes, et capable de refuser proprement lorsqu’il sort de son périmètre. L’approche est aujourd’hui déployée en environnement réel, avec une logique orientée production, traçabilité et auditabilité.

Le sujet pourrait s’inscrire dans une discussion plus large sur :

la fiabilité de l’IA en environnement métier,
la souveraineté et la gouvernance des architectures IA,
le passage d’une IA de démonstration à une IA réellement exploitable,
le rôle du routage et du refus comme mécanismes de robustesse.
À noter également que PRISM Key 153 a commencé à être identifié dans l’écosystème vLLM Semantic Router, avec :

"Sloboda je to, na čom skutočne záleží", povedal som si a cca v roku 2005 sme prešli v našej malej spoločnosti (dnes Triton Famme s.r.o.) na slobodné operačné systémy. Postupne sme prekonávali prekážky typické pre toto rané GNU/Linuxové obdobie: od chýbajúcich ovládačov pre modemy pre mobilnú sieť, cez nefungujúci internetbanking, nedostatok dokumentácie či skúseností okolia, až po migráciu dokumentov. Nakoniec to stálo (a stále stojí) za to! Nebola to „hra s nulovým súčtom“ – strávený čas sa nám vrátil mnohonásobne – získané vedomosti, spoznanie nových ľudí, prispôsobený softvér našim požiadavkám a predstavám, prenikanie do tajov a prístupu k slobodnému softvéru.

A fascinácia slobodným a otvoreným softvérom pretrváva. Sám sa najlepšie cítim v hrejivom objatí softvérovej implementácii lisp-ového stroja s názvom GNU Emacs, považujúc ho za najvyšší stupeň digitálnej existencie.

Naša spoločnosť sa orientuje na návrhy, realizácie, prípadne rekonštrukcie technologických liniek na pozberové a potravinárske spracovanie zemiakov a zeleniny, spolu so skladovými technológiami na Slovensku i v zahraničí. Od dizajnovania celých liniek, jej súčastí, spôsobu ich riadenia. Niektoré stroje a ich ovládanie si navrhujeme sami, s inými nám pomáhajú spriatelené firmy, ďalšie kupujeme od iných výrobcov, pričom realizujeme spôsob ich technologického a technického (včítane komunikačného) prepojenia. Riadenie zverujeme otvoreným kontrolérom – dospelým, testovaným, spoľahlivým zariadeniam spĺňajúcich požiadavky nasadenia do priemyselného prostredia.

Hobby: Ak nerátame záľuby viac-menej prepojené s IT, tak občasná horská cyklistika a sledovanie motoršportu (rôzne pretekárske i menej známe, série).
