Event Summary

BlackBerry — QNX, a division of BlackBerry, released its 'Inside the Robot: Architecture Benchmark Report' on May 27, 2026. This global study of 1,000 robotics developers reveals that software architecture and integration are now the biggest bottlenecks to robotics innovation, surpassing hardware. The report emphasizes the critical need for deterministic, real-time behavior and robust security as robots are increasingly deployed alongside humans. Despite this, 91% of developers still rely on general-purpose operating systems for real-time or safety-critical workloads, with 86% open to changing their OS. The study also highlights project delays due to certification processes, particularly in the United Kingdom and Germany, while China faces fewer delays. James S. Hirsch of BlackBerry — QNX noted that these challenges are solvable by focusing on stronger software foundations, positioning BlackBerry — QNX as a key provider of solutions for safe, reliable, and autonomous robots.
