AIRSHIP: Empowering Intelligent Robots through Embodied AI, Stronger United, Yet Distinct.

AIRSHIP has been developed to tackle the problem of software complexity in embodied AI. Its mission is to provide an easy-to-deploy software stack that empowers a wide variety of intelligent robots, thereby facilitating scalability and accelerating the commercialization of the embodied AI sector. AIRSHIP takes inspiration from Android, which played a crucial role in the mobile computing revolution by offering an open-source, flexible platform. Android enabled a wide range of device manufacturers to create smartphones and tablets at different price points, sparking rapid innovation and competition. This led to the widespread availability of affordable and powerful mobile devices. Android's robust ecosystem, supported by a vast library of apps through the Google Play Store, allowed developers to reach a global audience, significantly advancing mobile technology adoption. Similar to Android, AIRSHIP offers both software and hardware specifications, enabling robotic builders to develop complete embodied AI systems for a range of scenarios, including home, retail, and warehouse environments.
