Part 3/12:
The system incorporates advanced AI models for perception, decision-making, and motion, resulting in highly adaptive and multimodal intelligence. But perhaps the most ambitious feature is Fabric, a decentralized, blockchain-inspired communication protocol that allows robots to securely exchange insights and skills. For instance, a hospital delivery robot that learns a faster route can instantly share this knowledge with units elsewhere in the world.
Challenges and Opportunities
While the potential for creating a global hive mind of robots is enticing, it raises significant security and privacy concerns. Open networks are inherently vulnerable to cyber threats, and the real-time responsiveness essential for robotics must be balanced against the security offered by decentralization.
