Some have existential priority, like security. The business ask is impossible for an IT group to write point-to-point communication and maintain it. Robot companies have updates three to four times a year. Our infrastructure pipeline is built with tasking engines—it doesn't matter what device or human—we abstract and insulate them. Our goal is to solve boring software problems so others can do cool stuff with robots. Do you see consolidation…
