How hard is it to produce a robot? Developers cannot agree more with the answer. Production of robots require integrating technologies ranging from software development, artificial intelligence, hardware design, and manufacturing, which may consume an entire research department of a single company. Kambria, a blockchain company of Silicon Valley, strives to solve the problem of robotic technology being “locked up” by proprietary techniques and high cost by taking advantage of community, open-source development, and economic…
Imagine living in a world where every company you buy from only accepts a different currency. You buy bread with BreadCoin, shoes with ShoeCoin, eat at Restaurant A with RestaurantACoin. You have to calculate the amount of BreadCoin to buy based on how much bread you’re going to buy this week, then decide when to buy the BreadCoin cryptocurrency, on what exchange, and at what price. On top of that, you need to find a…
Kambria aims to launch an open innovation platform, similar to Linux and Android, that improves on the Robotics and AI economy by making the development faster, easier and cheaper. The platform will be fueled by blockchain technology and a reward system that incentivizes contributing community members. The crypto-economics in combination with blockchain technology intend to make the platform self-sufficient. The Kambria team themselves have a front row seat within the evolution of this new frontier tech…

Sometimes, the bearers of this freedom have come in the form of human beings, in others spirit, and sometimes humans have created their own vehicles for freedom in their own image — out of stone, mud or metal — and longed for the ability to breath life into it.…
We sat down with Dr. Tra Vu, COO of Kambria and engineering professor at NYU, to talk about how to bring AI and robotics to the masses. If that comes true, she points out the broad social impact it would have for disabled children taking classes without physically being at school; seniors connecting with loved ones with the aid of robots; remote workers collaborating with onsite staff; and many other aspects of society. The interview is on…
