Robonomics - Connecting IoT&Robotics Through Polkadot&Ethereum
499Block：The topic we are sharing today is Web3 platform for connecting IoT&Robotics to crypto economy / or through Polkadot&Ethereum. During ama, we will mute other people. If we have any questions or questions, we will answer after ama.
let’s start today’s ama,First of all, please make a simple self-introduction
I've been in the blockchain industry since2017. First, I worked as a legal assistant for blockchain projects, then as ananalyst for a crypto fund and then switched to blockchain projects marketing.I've been following Robonomics since November 2018.
499Block：wow, it has been 4 years now, then we will introduce the topic,Q1.How does Robonomics differ from other IoT blockchain projects?
It allows benefiting from the layer-1network's features depending on the exact IoT/Robotics use-case. One platform for robotics engineers withdifferent blockchains under the hood — that is the mission of the core DAOdevelopment team in the long term.
Robonomics supports the most popular framework for building IoT & Robotics - ROS. Any ROS devices, whether that's a camera or complex robotics device or even a cyber-physical system, could be under Robonomics control.
Robonomics plays the role of the conductorfor ROS devices to the digital economy.
Some stats from the ROS wiki page -

ROS - Robot operating system
Robonomics developers don't have to focus on developing layer-1 blockchain, as most other IoT projects do.
Instead, developers are integrating new robotics devices (e.g. Boston Dynamics SPOT) and utilising the most sufficient public blockchains and smart contracts in the industry.
499Block：Amazing, it seems that ROS already has a certain scale, and the goal is very clear, then the second question
Q2.Why should someone bond KSM for Robonomics?
1) It's a great opportunity to bring the whole Kusama ecosystem into the real world through IoT.
If Robonomics is readily available, then the functionality of the parachain will expand in the direction of automating the services that surround us in the real world:
Acala will be able to integrate its DeFI instruments into terminals and payment points.
Plasm and Moonbeam will be able to provide control over the implementation of the terms of a smart contract to modern homes, offices, cars and any other IoT oracles.
Darwinia will be able to issue NFT tokens linked to 3D printer log, robot drawing or AI-generated music composition.
Phala will be able to increase the level of privacy of user applications, with which we control IoT devices in our personal space. Robobank is the first Robonomics feature that utilises XCMP (cross-chain messaging protocol) and it will allow any parachain to get access to IoT device management with payment in a native token. Another important thing is Robonomics Web Services.
499Block：This is very clear, and it can intuitively reflect the difference between ROS and KSM. Total supply is a big difference. What does it mean? Is there other very important point in this that needs the user's attention?
And we can move on to the third question, Q3. What's Robonomics Web Services?
Transaction fee model is a primary
Mostly each transaction has a predefined cost of usage, and per-byte fee (also known as the “length fee”). No expiration date, no restrictions on the number of transactions in a block for any accounts. Weight fee prioritizes transactions in resource race situations.
XRT (Robonomics token) grants access to the Robonomics network with a transaction fee model. XRT presents this model in Ethereum mainnet and Robonomics Parachain testnet today (released in Ethereum mainnet since 2018, and in Robonomics Parachain testnet since Q2 2020).
As you might know, each parachain in Kusama has a stable bandwidth of around 1500 TPS.
Based on that, the Robonomics network can propose up to 6,000 monthly subscriptions with one transaction per block. The limitation of using parachain only once per block is a crucial component of the proposed architecture and all benefits based on that limitation.
Robonomics will make both models in the Robonomics network. Subscription model prevents unstable work for IoT devices, and the transaction fee model will grant access to the network without limitation in time and amount transactions per block. But in a resource race situation transactions from subscribers will be first.
XRT stakers will split the revenue generated from Robonomics Web Services subscriptions. RWS is a web3 analogue of Amazon Web Services (AWS), that allows to control IoT & Robotics devices without cloud servers.
Similarly how smart-contracts work without any need for maintenance on the server, as they're maintained by the blockchain that's backed by hundreds of thousand nodes.
IoT & Robotics devices controlled by RWS will be backed by Robonomics and Kusama/Polkadot nodes.

499Block：It can be seen that ROS has established a complete ecology, and XRT, as the basic token, plays a very clear role in it, which can largely support its price. But in addition to the project, users are also very interested in the team itself. The fourth question, Q4. What makes Robonomics team special?
They're lifetime fellows since university and each of them leads the team in his direction -
Sergei Lonshakov
(https://twitter.com/EnsRationis), software architect and Robonomics visionary
Alexander Krupenkin
(https://github.com/akru), core Robonomics parachain developer
Alexander Kapitonov
(https://en.itmo.ru/en/viewperson/1564/Alexander_Kapitonov.htm), head of Academia deparment
They've been working on Robonomics concepts since 2015, Right after the launch of Ethereum, as they had 4th node there.
Alexander Kapitonov is a Dean of theFaculty of Infocommunication Technologies at ITMO in St Petersburg.
Alexander Krupenkin also helps withdeveloping Plasm parachain.
499Block：Team members are so loyal to the project since the begining, What is the long-term vision of the core team?
Currently, 5 parachains are under development and all of them use Robonomics parachain's core functionality.
Besides, core developers will open the Robonomics institute, where students will learn Robotics, IoT and Robonomics.
499Block：This is really great, so in order to realize this vision, what kind of efforts will the team make?

And the second is about Boston Dynamics SDK -

It's developed by Multi-agent lab -

At the final lesson, you'll control the Boston Dynamics SPOT using Robonomics parachain!
After completing the course, you'll get a certificate in the public blockchain, which will store the log of your lesson's session.
