WherobotsDB finds both in SQL: a join to the USGS basins for the buildings, and a raster vector join over elevation for the roads. 8 Mins Read 16 Sep 2026 Measuring the Strait of Hormuz shutdown with Sentinel-2, WherobotsDB and Overture Maps WherobotsDB read 719 Sentinel-2 scenes in place, fetched about 1.5 GB of the 151 GB, and joined the detections against Overture Maps land polygons to measure a 95% fall in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz corridor. Loading at Kharg and waiting at Fujairah held at 2025 levels, and the analysis cost about $63. 9 Mins Read 31 Aug 2026 How to score every building in a state for catastrophe risk: an exploration project Part 1 of a series: What’s possible? I didn’t start this project to build a real risk model, not one that can be used by an insurer tomorrow. But it is a workflow that an insurer can put into practice to create their own risk scores with Wherobots and their own expertise. The idea was […] 10 Mins Read 27 Aug 2026 Learning Wherobots by Building a National AI Data Center Suitability Report This guest post is from a Wherobots user George Chandeep Corea, which covers an exploration of how he used Wherobots MCP with his preferred AI coding tools to build the interactive AI data center site suitability analysis tool below. The following quote is from his own biography. Learning by Doing Below is a working national […] 11 Mins Read 11 Aug 2026 From the Spokane firestorm to all of Washington: real-time wildfire monitoring for under $50 a pass The moment a satellite pass lands, this pipeline turns it into a burn-severity map in 14 minutes: real-time wildfire monitoring with Python and Spatial SQL that protects lives and assets, shown on the Spokane firestorm and scaled to the entire state of Washington.
