Almost each one of us have heard the power of robotics in manufacturing industry and the diversity of tasks they can perform without a break but how many of us have actually been able to use one for our personal needs? Maybe less than 1% of human population around the globe or even lower. Though the research on advanced robotics has been going on for more than 50 years, but there has been little progress in developing affordable robots for personal use. Due to lack of good interfaces, abstraction layer for software, electrical and mechanical systems, due to lack of tools and methods to share parts of design in distributed fashion, due to availability of few practical standards to capture end-to-end process, robotic applications are slow, expensive and hard to make. With the availability of poor interfaces from traditional manufacturers, the innovation in this field further slows down. Moreover, the capital for such projects is allocated only to large scale or mature projects by the corporations.
Kambria has come up with unique platform to tackle these problems and accelerate the innovation in robotics through collaboration. Its aims to focus on AI and robotics applications in consumer space by engaging a vast community of developers and creators, by providing them with required necessary tools and simultaneously connecting them with market demand. It wants to build an ecosystem where collaboration in R&D will be incentivized and end users can enjoy higher quality of life. This will uproot the inefficiency built in the current innovation process and will significantly reduce the duplication effort.

Deriving its name from the Camrian explosion, which took place 500 million years ago, the founders of Kambria believe that robotics will witness a similar explosion in coming years. Its mission is to accelerate the process of innovation, leading to cheaper development and adoption of technologies. Current model of robotics development is almost similar to game theory principle, wherein developers choose to defect and innovate within their own silos resulting in worst possible outcome of Nash Equilibrium. Kambria platform makes use of blockchain to create incentives and building a trustless, decentralized system. It works on the Grim-Trigger strategy wherein participants are encouraged to cooperate in beginning and are subject to heavy penalty later if they defect in between.

KAT token (ERC-20 compliant) will be used for all transactions on Kambria Platform. All the rewards and incentives are paid in KAT for all the stakeholders participating on the platform. In addition to this, there will be Kambria Karma, which will be a non-tradable ledger entry for wallet addresses used to track actual concrete work performed. The detailed architecture and token utility model can be check in detail in published whitepaper. The prime uses include Kambria DNA (KDNA), Innovation Marketplace and Innovation Utility, Manufacturing Alliance and Manufacturing Utility, Value Capture and Community Sustainability Utility, Legal Enforcement Utility etc. The MVP was released in Apr-2018 and Beta is expected to be launched in Q3-2018. The full launch of platform is expected in Q2-2019. The private sale round was closed earlier and the company will come up with ICO token economics in near future.
