Qualcomm explains robot System 0, 1, 2 architecture, releases Dragonwing IQ10 reference design

At its Investor Day, Qualcomm laid out its robotics strategy, splitting robot computing architecture into a System 2 reasoning layer (18-core CPU, 700 TOPS multi-NPU, 64GB memory, over 270GB/s bandwidth, running VLA large models), a System 1 action layer, and a System 0 execution layer, built on deterministic Ethernet with nanosecond-level synchronization and multi-sensor ASICs.
