This conversation lays out a practical architecture decision tree for AIoT: start with one agent paired to one device for simple use cases, move to one agent orchestrating many devices once you have more than a handful of sensors or actuators, and graduate to a full multi-agent system — with dedicated manager, vision, planning, and data-fusion agents — once your problem becomes spatially or organizationally complex, as in agricultural fields, river systems, or supply chains. Dr. Scott Gerard illustrates the framework with real examples from elder care monitoring, autonomous delivery drones, and manufacturing.
