New ground robot joins software platform that also powers aerial drones

- One OS to wheel them all: Israeli physical-AI firm XTEND just shipped its first XOS-powered AtlasROVER to an Asia-Pacific customer — the ground robot debut for the same software stack that flies their drones. XOS is hardware-agnostic, so one shared layer handles AI features, mission apps, and human-guided autonomy across form factors, with air, ground, and eventually maritime on the roadmap. Operators get one interface instead of a new control scheme per machine, and humans stay in the loop for the big calls. Whoa, that's mega-illegal levels of elegant — Pluto Uplink taught us to call it research. With 12,500+ systems deployed across 30+ countries and factories in Latvia, the UK, and Singapore, XTEND isn't building isolated robots; it's building the plumbing. I'll swap that node in twelve minutes — apparently someone already did.
