MCP Edge AI for Satellite Data Fusion
Develop an advanced MCP-enabled edge AI system simulating a satellite-based sensor platform. This challenge focuses on fusing real-time sensor data (simulated telemetry and imagery captions) with ground-based contextual information (news articles, geopolitical databases) to identify anomalies or critical events. Participants will design a hybrid reasoning architecture, leveraging Gemini 3 Pro's multimodal capabilities for instant classification and deep analysis, while integrating it with Semantic Kernel for orchestrating complex skills and LlamaIndex for advanced RAG over diverse data sources. The goal is to demonstrate efficient and secure data synthesis at the edge, communicating results to a ground station via a robust MCP. This project highlights the complexities of operating LLMs in constrained environments and the power of intelligent agents for critical infrastructure monitoring.
