Software is ‘the biggest bottleneck to robotics innovation’, says BlackBerry QNX report
QNX, a division of BlackBerry, has released a new research study, the Inside the Robot: Architecture Benchmark Report, examining how robotics development is changing as systems become more software‑driven, AI‑enabled, and increasingly deployed alongside humans at work and in daily life. Based on a survey of 1,000 developers from around the world, the research reveals […]
The increasing complexity and deployment of AI-enabled robotics are exposing software development as the rate-limiting step, despite rapid advancements in hardware.
This report highlights a critical choke point in the acceleration of robotics and autonomy, indicating where investment and innovation must now focus to unlock further progress.
The focus in robotics development shifts more explicitly towards software architecture, programming paradigms, and AI integration rather than purely mechanical or electrical engineering.
