Title: How Kambria Will Disrupt Robotics Development Post by: kambria.io on April 22, 2018, 08:55:27 PM HOW KAMBRIA WILL DISRUPT ROBOTICS DEVELOPMENT Robotics culture is more the “secret” than sharing knowledge. Currently, market leaders have no interest in sharing their knowledge with competitors, due to huge investments they made. How will Kambria proceed to change their mindset? We believe those huge companies that have already invested a ton of capital will eventually come around due to the amount of technology amassed by Kambria. But things will be kicked off first by 4 groups:
According to Kambria’s whitepaper, one of the main constraints for robotics innovation is the high investment cost needed for innovation. Will Kambria provide this infrastructure (both software and hardware) in order to facilitate innovation from startups? We thought about the entire process and came up with a solution to what we consider a “broken” robotics dev process today, and it’s on many fronts. Initially starting outside blockchain, with for example our 3D printing technology (e.g. cluster design, custom printers, control software) where we can make production parts (not just prototypes) at an incredibly low cost for any quantity from 1 to 1000. So many robotics startups and companies have been interested in this and come to visit us because they see what a huge difference this can be for robotics. The Kambria Manufacturing Alliance and API will solve the problem of collaboration and supply chain. So much time roboticists spend is just finding parts, setting up arrangements with suppliers. And if we find someone to make my parts here in the US, even if we share my design files to a partner lab in say Singapore or France, they still need to do lots of overhead to find their own local supplier who can cut or make or source the parts for them, which slows things down tremendously. Our goal is to make robotics hardware development as fast and lean as software, instead of “Write once, run anywhere” in software we want “Design once, make anywhere” enabled by Kambria. That eliminates all the friction in collaboration and will make it possible for roboticists to build off each others work rather than building fragmented, separate things. Then on top of that, of course the key part is blockchain technology, which allows us to tokenize and design game theoretic incentives for people who want to collaborate. The token is the key and the heart. Without it today, robotics collaboration is a losing game. You see every single company incentivized to hide their technology. Simply put, today secrecy is rewarded. Using the token, we can change this so that openness is rewarded more, and hence will change the game completely.
