Kambria is a platform that focuses in a collaborative system that rewards or incentivizes users for every contribution they make like sharing of ideas/ data, manufacturing, and many others that will accelerate innovation in the robotics industry by enabling a faster and low cost development that can be easily adopted by simple robotics enthusiasts or students, startups and big corporations. The goal of Kambria is to offer the most affordable and quality consumer robot that works efficiently and provides value to the people.

The open collaboration

Kambria believes the value of a cooperative development that provides a unified methods, semantics, designs, process, programming, interfaces and so on that will in return create an affordable robots for everyday needs at home, a true functional robot for the consumer market. Companies, developers and manufacturers can also benefit from Kambria without having to employ team researchers for their robots, they just need to search through the platform that matches their needs. Through this, innovation can be achieved by providing a low cost and cutting edge technology.

The platform

The Kambria Platform consists of 5 pillars that enhance the value of collaboration by implementing a reward and penalty system wherein users who cooperate through sharing their knowledge and technology will be rewarded and that who doesn’t or are secretive will be penalized. The system’s goal is to achieve the acceleration of innovation and with the help of blockchain technology users can be assured of its transparency. Here are the 5 pillars:

• CODE BASE (KDNA) –is a module management and build system
• Innovation Marketplace –the place for bounties and competitions
• Manufacturing Alliance –a collaborative partnership of manufacturers
• Value Capture –its goal is to make the community sustainable
• Legal Enforcement –protection against violators and free-riders

The KDNA is a module management and build system that can also send and receive funds and participate in on-chain mechanisms. It is an open source codebase and a development tool that will greatly enhance the collaborative system. The Innovation Marketplace is where users can engage in bounties or competitions that are held by companies to develop their robotic need. The Manufacturing Alliance as a collaborative partnership that shares knowledge and resources will enable a fast manufacturing of robots. The Value Capture aims to make the community sustainable by incentivizing them thus they will not be dependent on donations. The Legal Enforcement protects users from theft obtained in the platform, as it is a storage for ideas, technology and others, it will then be vulnerable to violators and free-riders.

The Token

The Kambria token or ‘KAT’ is an ERC20 utility token that is used to access the platform. It is also used as a reward and as an incentive for stake holders. Examples of its uses are:

• For tipping projects or users that are on the leader board
• As a payment for submitting a bounty projects that are then staked throughout the program
• For the access and payment on the manufacturing network
• As a fee for value capture
• As a voting in KambriaVote regarding legal issues

A perk program is also made for KAT holders that offer a discounted access to different areas on the platform for as low as one KAT users can participate in the program and the higher the KAT being held, the larger the discount can be offered.

The Kambria founders are the owners of OhmniLabs, Inc., they designed an affordable robot that bridged the gap of distance between families separated by countries making them closer. The robot makes video chatting easier so the founders achieved their goal of low cost and high value robot that can be manufactured commercially and with it they believe Kambria will be much successful.
