Crossed Off Capital(@CrossedOffCap):Great article from the Co- Founder of @SkildAI "In robotics, you cannot leave deployment until the end. How will the supply chain work? Who installs it? Who owns the integration? Who fixes it when it breaks? Who updates it when the process changes? You don’t fully understand these questions until you’re there. Deployment is the hidden pillar of robotics research because it’s where robotics happens. There is no substitute." I think its interesting to see Skild is using similar logic and deployment method as $CCXI / @agilityrobotics. To a certain degree, it feels like Agility "forced" Digit into deployment, focusing on commercial traction rather than perfecting all of the technological components. With that said, they have the highest level of deployment, the value of which we may not fully understand until humanoid manufacturing scales. The "Data Flywheel" that Agility hypes is something I've touched on in my piece here:
