Part 4/11:
One of the key questions posed to Assarabis was whether this approach could lead to a sort of “Android for robotics”—a universal software layer that runs across a variety of robotic hardware. The analogy suggests a future where multiple device types and brands leverage a shared operating system or AI platform, vastly accelerating adoption and innovation.
Assarabis confirms that this is a core part of their strategy. They see value in developing a universal OS layer akin to Android, allowing different robots to share software advancements, updates, and functionalities. Simultaneously, they are exploring vertical integration, where deep models are customized for specific robot types, optimizing end-to-end learning for particular tasks and designs.
