The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

So a lot of the core problems are already solved.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

And what you do is you bring your idea for what the application should do.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

the, you know, the need and you bring the kind of business logic and then you tie together those components to do what you want.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

That's what we think that we can deliver with this software platform that we're providing.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

You mentioned a couple of components that are worth mentioning.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

I'll just, the flow state is the name that we give to the developer tool that we provide.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So that's, it's a web-based interface that it allows you with no installation on your side, you

You log into our portal.

You've got a web-based UI that talks to our cloud-hosted system that allows you to bring up a 3D environment, a digital twin, as we call it.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So you can say, I'm going to lay out a work cell because we take a digital-first approach here.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So I'm going to build an application.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

Before I start cutting metal and putting a robot work cell together, what I should do is lay it out.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

Maybe I even start with a traditional CAD system.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

I can import that into FlowState.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

Now I've got a 3D representation of the environment, including the robot.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

the cameras, whatever else I put in there, I can start to tweak that layout.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

And then I can write my application.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

And we give you workflows to do that using kind of traditional just write code.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

We also give you a graphical approach.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google's Secret Robotics Play That Nobody's Talking About

If you didn't come from, say, a programming background and you prefer a visual kind of drag and drop approach to putting together the components that go into the application, you can do that.
