Common Problems in IoT / Robotics Sector

The Problem

Robotics has grown beyond industrial settings. Personal drones, household assistants, and hobbyist robots are now accessible to individuals, while small businesses are experimenting with automation for delivery, security, and logistics. Yet both personal and commercial users face similar challenges:

For Personal Users

• Consumer drones and robots often come with proprietary apps that limit customization.

• Logs of activity are hidden, leaving owners without verifiable records of usage.

• Configuring devices across different brands requires juggling multiple apps.

For Commercial Users

• Small businesses deploying robots face fragmented dashboards when mixing different brands.

• Verifying performance for clients or regulators is difficult without tamper-proof logs.

• Leasing or renting robotic capacity is inefficient because there is no trusted framework for proving uptime or reliability.

Shared Issues Across Both Groups

• Lack of interoperability between manufacturers.

• Limited ability to prove activity through transparent records.

• Dependence on centralized servers that may fail or be compromised.

• High costs of scaling beyond a handful of devices.
