Former mobile phone giant BlackBerry has transformed into a software layer provider for AI and robotics ecosystems

CoinFeed June 26 news, according to CoinDesk report, BlackBerry, once known for its physical keyboard phones, has quietly transformed into a key software layer provider for 'Physical AI' and robotics ecosystems. Its QNX software framework is called the 'never-crashing' autonomous machine nervous system, providing chip manufacturers like Nvidia and AMD with a safe, reliable, deterministic real-time operating system for smart cars and warehouse robots. BlackBerry CEO John Giamatteo said during an earnings call that QNX technology has deterministic and safety certifications, is extremely difficult to replicate, and customers trust the technology in systems where failure is not tolerated. BlackBerry's stock price surged nearly 23% on Thursday, after the company reported earnings far exceeding expectations and raised its performance guidance.
