Thanks to a successful referendum and support from Parity, Robonomics Freemium (Kusama) has resumed block production and completed its runtime v4.0.4 upgrade. When v4.0.4 deployment follows on the Polkadot parachain, the team will trial newly unlocked performance enhancements using multiple cores.
While continuing to build on Polkadot, Robonomics has announced a shift in its marketing and development direction. Due to a lack of significant traction within the crypto community, it will now focus on marketing its devices to the retail market via IndieGogo and Kickstarter, with future plans for global distribution on Amazon.
Robonomics is edging closer to launching a framework to build applications for humanoid robots. Scientific Administrator Ivan Berman has published a paper detailing some the project’s findings regarding the challenges that need to be overcome before humanoid robots can autonomously set goals and make decisions.
