First AtlasROVER deployment since XTEND’s acquisition of Atlas extends XOS-powered systems from air into ground robotics
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) announced today that XTEND, a leader in AI-powered robotics and developer of XOS, the operating system for Physical AI, today announced the first deployment of an XOS-powered AtlasROVER to a customer in the Asia-Pacific region since XTEND’s acquisition of Atlas.
The deployment marks an important step in demonstrating XTEND’s strategy to extend XOS beyond aerial systems into ground robotics, building toward a common software layer across air, ground and ultimately maritime robotic systems.
XOS is XTEND’s hardware-agnostic operating system for human-guided autonomy, designed to bring common AI capabilities, mission applications and operator workflows across different robotic platforms. Integrating AtlasROVER into the XOS ecosystem expands that software architecture into the ground domain.
“This is an important step in demonstrating the strategy behind XOS,” said Aviv Shapira, CEO and co-founder of XTEND. “Our goal is not to build isolated robotic products, but to create a common software layer that can extend across air, ground and ultimately maritime systems. Bringing AtlasROVER into the XOS ecosystem moves us closer to a future where different robotic platforms can work together, while humans remain in control of the decisions that matter.”
AtlasROVER is a ground robotic platform designed to operate in complex environments and support multiple mission payloads. Its integration with XOS expands the range of robotic platforms within XTEND’s software ecosystem and demonstrates how the company is extending its software-first approach across multiple physical domains.
