AIxCrypto has unveiled a robot rental marketplace and a new infrastructure platform for autonomous assets as it seeks to extend the commercial life of robots beyond their initial sale.
The Nasdaq-listed company introduced RoboShare and AIXC01 during the recent Automate Show in Chicago, outlining a strategy it says will allow robots, AI agents and other autonomous systems to generate value throughout their operational lifetime rather than only at the point of purchase.
RoboShare is designed as a marketplace that matches businesses looking to rent robots with owners seeking to monetize underused robotic equipment. The platform will support both full robot rentals and service-based bookings, enabling companies to access robotic capabilities without purchasing equipment outright.
AIxCrypto says the platform will launch publicly on June 22, initially serving the Los Angeles market before expanding to New York and other cities. The company is also introducing a City Partner programme to support regional expansion through local operators responsible for customer acquisition, training and ecosystem development.
Jay Sheng, president of AIxCrypto, said: “For all its progress, the robotics industry has been built around a single transaction – building a machine and selling it.
“We believe the larger opportunity begins after deployment. With RoboShare and AIXC01, we are building the infrastructure that lets a robot keep working, keep circulating, and keep creating value across its entire operating life.”
The company also introduced AIXC01, an infrastructure layer intended to support robots, AI agents and other autonomous assets participating in digital economic networks.
According to AIxCrypto, the platform provides four core capabilities: digital identity, operational attestation, access to services and tasks, and settlement infrastructure for recording and coordinating autonomous activity.
The company says the platform is designed to support what it calls the “Silicon Economy”, where autonomous machines can interact, exchange data and participate in commercial activities using verified operational records generated in the physical world.
Alongside the two product launches, AIxCrypto outlined what it describes as the Robot Second Life Cycle, a framework intended to increase the utilisation, lifespan and residual value of robotic assets.
Rather than generating revenue only through an initial sale, the company argues that robots can continue creating economic value through higher utilisation rates, longer operating lives and the accumulation of operational data that can support future services and asset valuation.
As part of that strategy, AIxCrypto plans to develop inspection, valuation and recirculation standards for pre-owned robots, laying the groundwork for a secondary market in used robotic systems.
Looking further ahead, the company said it intends to apply the same framework to autonomous aerial systems, including drones, creating a common infrastructure for both ground-based and airborne autonomous assets.
AIxCrypto says the strategy is intended to support wider adoption of embodied AI by reducing the cost of accessing robotic systems while creating new revenue opportunities for robot owners and operators.
