LookingGlass CEO Gilman Louie to be honored with Theodore Roosevelt Government Leadership Award by Government Executive

Published

Reston, VA., Oct. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

LookingGlass CEO Gilman Louie will be one of only two people from outside the federal government honored at the 2021 Theodore Roosevelt Government Leadership (Teddy) Awards. Winning in the ‘Partner’ category, Mr. Louie will be recognized for his significant, lasting achievements around emerging technologies and cybersecurity, with a particular focus in helping federal agencies meet mission goals.

About the recognition, Mr. Louie remarked, “It’s truly an honor to be named among some of the most distinguished individuals in the federal government—these are folks that have dedicated their careers to public service and something larger than themselves. I admire that.”  

It is that same service-minded mentality that colleagues and peers from across the industry have looked up to Mr. Louie for. Joe Addiego, a key investor at In-Q-Tel prior to joining Alsop-Louie Partners, had this to say about his investment partner: “Gilman has consistently been dedicated to making life better—not for himself, but for everyone, including his colleagues, his community, and the nation, as a whole. Over the years, as his career has grown, so has his dedication to public service.”

Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, also weighed in on what sets Mr. Louie apart. From Mr. Schmidt’s viewpoint, it is his leadership in the purpose-driven application of innovation. “I have had the honor to work with Gilman for several years in the federal government—first while at the Defense Innovation Board and later with the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence. Gilman’s expertise as a technologist and his dedication, leadership, and innovation make him truly deserving of [this] honor,” Mr. Schmidt added. 

Appreciative of the personal accolades, Mr. Gilman is quick to bring the focus back on his company’s dedication to meeting its customers’ mission outcomes. “I’m most proud that LookingGlass has been a steadfast and committed partner to our public sector customers and their missions. Since 2009 we’ve been helping federal agencies monitor their external attack surfaces, supply chains, and third-party vendors. With our digital footprint of the internet—layered with threat intelligence—our federal partners have been able to act quickly on relevant cyber and threat information to help agencies meet their cybersecurity missions and deliver on the government’s promise to the American people. Public-private partnership has always been key to our nation’s cyber resilience, and now with the increased frequency and sophistication of attacks to our critical infrastructure, that’s never been more true.”

Mr. Louie is optimistic about the future, however. He added, “This award goes to show that government does value and depend on private-sector partnerships. I hope to see more of that. If we’re able to drive towards more private-sector collaboration and the sharing of actionable threat intelligence at all levels of government, we’ll be one step ahead of our adversaries in an evolving threat landscape. The great news is that there are outstanding people pushing for this within the federal government, and LookingGlass is here to partner with and support them.” 

To get to know Mr. Louie and the full lineup of distinguished federal officials and industry leaders, sign up to join the virtual celebration on October 21. Government Executive will also be releasing Teddy TV episodes on governmenthalloffame.com dedicated to the award winners with special messages from high profile guests over three days, October 25 (Directors, Pathfinders), November 1 (Visionaries), November 8 (Defenders, Partners).

LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Segway Robotics, a global leader in autonomous mobile robot (AMR) technologies, is collaborating with NVIDIA to introduce a new developer kit which will expand the frontiers of robotic technologies. The Nova Orin Developer Kit (DevKit), unveiled at NVIDIA GTC, a global AI conference running March 18-21 at the San Jose Convention Center and online, enables creators to bring their robotic innovations to market more swiftly and efficiently.

Building upon the capabilities of the Nova Carter development robot, which Segway teamed with NVIDIA to introduce last year, the Nova Orin DevKit makes robotics development more accessible. It combines Segway’s expertise in robotic mobility solutions with NVIDIA AI and GPU accelerated computing, aiming to provide a platform for developing robotic applications that can navigate and interact with the world in ways previously unimaginable.
Responding to the developer community’s feedback on the Nova Carter, the Nova Orin DevKit has been crafted to offer an even greater level of customization without sacrificing simplicity in assembly and calibration. It is an all-in-one, fully integrated compute and sensing solution ideal for solving complex AMR challenges in large and highly dynamic environments.
Powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin system-on-module, the Nova Orin DevKit is equipped with stereo cameras (RGBD) and high-speed surround cameras to provide 3D surround vision. It comes preinstalled with NVIDIA Isaac platform components (including sensor drivers, a nominal calibration file, as well as NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor packages), allowing users to experience the Isaac Perceptor stack right out of the box.
The Nova Orin DevKit can accelerate the development of state-of-art autonomy with powerful and proven software and hardware tools, to use with automated guided vehicles, autonomous forklifts, indoor and outdoor delivery robots, and many other applications.
“With the Nova Orin DevKit, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in AI robotics,” said Tony Ho, Vice President of Business Development at Segway. “Since introducing Nova Carter, the feedback from developers has been incredibly insightful. Recognizing the critical importance of time to market in the robotics sector, the Nova Orin DevKit is our answer to accelerating innovation and success for our customers.”
The Nova Orin DevKit, alongside Nova Carter, represents an important step in reducing the development time for robotics projects. Additionally, Segway’s expertise in supply chain management is set to assist robotics companies in scaling their operations faster and more smoothly.
The Nova Orin DevKit will be available for order starting in early April. Developers, researchers, and companies interested in exploring the frontiers of AI robotics are encouraged to join this exciting journey.
