I wonder what SoftBank can add to ARM technologically?

Obviously besides swimming in dollar

They took 95% ownership of Aldebaran Robotic a while ago, and it's a huge success in Japan. I'm no expert but isn't that building a vertical?

AFAIR the robots are running on Intel Atom, but well... embedded... ARM... (not saying that's the only reason though)
