A deep dive into the RCAN open source project, its Astro-based architecture, and how you can contribute to the future of robot communication.
The technical appendix to the RCAN protocol proposal. Includes JSON Schema for Robot URIs, Protocol Buffer definitions, and a complete handshake flow—proving RCAN is real code, not just a blog post.
The internet has ICANN. IoT has Matter. Robotics has nothing. The RCAN protocol proposes a global addressing, authentication, and governance standard for embodied AI.
China's dominance in industrial robotics raises fundamental questions about who shapes the values embedded in embodied AI systems that will increasingly act in the physical world.
As embodied AI scales, we need a governance stack for the physical world—a constitutional operating system that encodes safety, law, and social norms into every robot's decision-making framework.
Why the future of robotics isn't a better robot—it's a better Operating System. How ContinuonAI applies UNIX principles to build the operating system for embodied AI.
