Kambria: Blockchain based Platform for Robotics Development

Overview:

It is a decentralized platform which provides platform for the development of robotics industry with the help of blockchain technology, its incentivizing mechanism helps the developers and manufacturers to increase the usage of robots

Challenges in the current robotic industry:

Current robotics industry is innovating new technologies at a slower rate due to financial problems and wasted labour in the manufacturing industry plays key role in the assembly lines, but these types of robots are very expensive due to complex reasoning ability. Even though robots are succeeded in the manufacturing, but they are not adopted to household purpose because of high cost in the operation. Robotics engineers are not able to develop the technology due to lack of proper tools

Solution:
Kambria came up with the solution for the issues in the robotics industry by incentivize mechanism. This platform is built on the blockchain. It is aiming to design capable and robots at less price for the consumers

Kambria Architecture:
This architecture made up of five major components
• Code base (KDNA)
• The innovation marketplace
• The manufacturing alliance,
• Value capture
• Legal enforcement

Code base (KDNA):
It is a platform which specifies all the tools and components required to build a robot, it will be stored in IPFS (Inter Planetary File System) for the decentralization, its main aim is to reuse the tools.

The Innovation Marketplace and Innovation Utility:
This is the major part in the architecture it provides experts solution, for example, a large firm wants to use robotics in their business they will approach to KAT and describes their project requirements, by using smart contracts they submit the bounties.

The Manufacturing Alliance and Manufacturing Utility:
It forms collabaorative partnership with a top manufacturing companies, where they can get ideas knowledge, resources. They use KAT for the access and payment on the Manufacturing Network.

Value Capture and Community Sustainability Utility:
It is used to capture the value created by KAT platform and incentivizes according to that
There are three major value components in a life of robot such as when it manufactured, when it is leased or sold and what value it added to their money.

Legal Enforcement Utility:
Their legal team protects the work of Kambria community by compliance and enforcement through legal actions. This will ensure project with the free-rider problem.

Token economy:
Kambria platform issues utility token called “KAT”, which can be used in the internal ecosystem of the platform for the services and incentivization.

Token details:
Token symbol: KAT
Total token supply: 5,000,000,000
Soft cap: 12,000,000 USD
Hard cap: 19,900,000 USD
Crowd sale: To be announced

Verdict:

Pros:
• Social media hype is very good, its telegram community has 10k+ members
• Partnered with Intel Real sense, Stanford university, Toppan, etc
• Roadmap is clear about their goals to be achieved till Q2 2019.
• It has working MVP available in the market
• Advisory team looks great, it has experienced members from blockchain and cryptocurrency
• Team members are having relevant experience AI, Robotics, computer science and blockchain

Cons:
• Whitepaper written in complex language, which is difficult to understand for the average investor
• Even though project idea looks good, it takes very long time to adopt in the real world
