The Future of Commercial Robots

TRC is transforming the world of commercial robots!

Introducing the Commercial Personal Robot™ or CPR™

A Commercial Personal Robot™, or CPR™, is a multipurpose commercial robot whose intelligence and functionality can be enhanced and extended by using cloud services and a variety of interchangeable software applications (apps). A CPR will have a longer useful life span simply by being able to install different apps for different purposes and changing circumstances; this will result in a greater return on investment for the initial hardware purchase.

How Is TRC Better?

One of TRC's primary advantages and core differentiators over our competitors is that our line of robots is not being built by only a single manufacturer; instead, we will license our development platform and our modular hardware architecture to many OEM's (large and small) around the world. These OEM's will all share TRC's deployment platform which includes the TRC Robot App Store. These OEM's will be able to produce differentiated mass market CPR's; this is similar to mobile device OEM's in today's market that produce smart phones and tablets that can all use the same apps.

By uncoupling hardware development from application software development, the TRC Commercial Personal Robot will be dramatically changing the economic model for individuals and teams wanting to develop and deploy robot solutions for business and commercial purposes. This includes entrepreneurs, systems integrators, 3^rd party developers, and enterprise ICT departments. Since the TRC-Platform provides plug-and-play integration between hardware and software, a robot solution conceived by software developers will no longer require the high cost of hardware development to launch and support the product.

Keep in mind that ICT groups rarely, if ever, build their own hardware for their cloud or data center; we shouldn’t expect them to build robots to deliver a commercial robot to the business. Using TRC’s platform of API's for robot and cloud services plus an SDK for plug-and-play hardware accessories, software developers will be able to create powerful robot solutions without having to build the robot.

This is why TRC’s slogan is: “We build the Robot. You build the App!™ "

What is a Robot?

A robot can be considered to be an extension of ICT (information and communication technology) that breaks the barrier of digital, two-dimensional technology and interacts with the physical 3D world that we live in. A robot has the ability to interact with its environment based on inputs and conditions. Due to modern AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning, a robot may have progressive improvements to intelligence capabilities and functional flexibility. As such, a robot has certain defining characteristics; for example: (1) it can move around without being carried, like you have to do with a tablet (motility vs. mobility); (2) it can collect and analyze sensor data including audio video; (3) it can have wireless network communications capability; and (4) it can have actuators to manipulate physical objects.

Two Types of Robot: Industrial and Non-Industrial

In the Industrial Sector, the terms robot and robotic are interchangeable; they usually apply to devices in factory automation settings. Non-industrial robots, however, are robots outside of the factory automation setting; they include such devices as autonomous vehicles, robot vacuums, UAV's (drones), aquatic robots, process automation robotic devices in commercial settings like a hamburger flipper, and the generic category of commercial robots.

What is a Commercial Robot?

A commercial robot is non-industrial robot that interacts with people in a commercial or business environment. There are tens of thousands of commercial robots on the market today. But, the vast majority of commercial robots are single purpose machines, often completely autonomous or completely remote controlled. They include: (1) cleaning robots like robot vacuums; (2) telepresence robots that enable a remote operator to engage in video conferencing while using its motility to move around the environment; (3) utility and service robots that do special functions like “Last Mile Delivery” (packages and food); (4) social robots like Softbank’s Pepper; and (5) multipurpose robots that are developed on platforms with API's or SDK's to support third party software development, such as the TRC CPR.

There is a handful of multipurpose robots on the market today, but not one of them matches the flexibility and continuity of the TRC CPR. Not only is TRC providing a flexible and affordable robot that addresses today's commercial market demands, our global ecosystem will provide continuity for development, deployment, and support not seen elsewhere.

TRC is transforming the world of commercial robots!

With TRC’s CPR-Platform™, software developers will be able to develop robot apps that will function on CPR compatible robots being manufactured by OEM’s around the world.

TRC is introducing the Commercial Personal Robot™ or CPR™. These robots are designed for business and commercial development using the CPR-Platform. Any CPR robot can download and run robot apps available at the CPR Robot App Store™.

TRC’s global headquarters is located in Silicon Valley, CA USA. We will be opening our Asian headquarters (TRC-China) soon.
