What do you usually think of when you think

of what a robot is?

Do you think of hardware like this

this

maybe this while you relax on the sofa

or even software like this

regardless there’s certainly a massive divide from this

But there is something that’s helping us get

there….

no, not because of this…

does anyone know what this is?

…of course

it’s the chip that powered …

but more because of these

well more specifically these

and the processing power they yield

…what does a 2010 HTC Touch have in common with Kasparoz

…they are both chess grandmasters

there are companies trying to harness this power

future hardware like Google Glass

only runs on a Android 4.0.4, a 2011 chip

so what will future chips make possible

…a robot app store

with processing power that allows you to launch complex apps

which becomes useful when paired with the right hardware

…so next time you think of your phone maybe this will be more front of mind
