What might a spatial harness look like for robotics?
In this recording I show how @Auki makes it possible to get multiple robots and devices collaboratively maintaining spatial context, and how we use augmented reality to interface both with the robots and each other.

Why AUKI?
What are its competitive advantages?
A first mover in spatial infrastructure for robots. 📌
Virtually no competitor has addressed the problem of perception as a foundational layer.
Most players focus on locomotion and manipulation, leaving @Auki with essentially uncontested territory in the short term.
Hardware agnosticism. 📌
The network works with any robot, any manufacturer, any device.
This is the strategic moat.
The more hardware connects to the Real World Web, the more indispensable the protocol becomes for anyone who wants to deploy robots in the physical world.
Spatial network effects. 📌
Every mapped domain, every connected robot, every digitized space increases the value of the infrastructure for all other participants.
Once a retailer has mapped its stores, it has a structural incentive to remain in the Auki ecosystem.
Deployment speed. 📌
2 minutes from unboxing to an operational robot.
This is the answer to the question, “How do you scale to tens of thousands of robots?”
Auki’s answer is: simply.
An honest investment thesis requires clearly examining areas of uncertainty as well, which will be addressed in another article...
Risks exist, they are real, and they deserve to be understood with the same depth as the positive factors.
The path from a promising project to a global infrastructure for billions of devices is long and fraught with variability.
But they're heading in the right direction.
It's the right region.
And the window of opportunity is open right now.
Two visionaries get together for a chat about the coming civilization-scale shift driven by physical AI and the infrastructure it'll run on: DePIN.
Must-listen of the week. 👇
What happens when AI can see and understand the physical world?
Nils Pihl (@broodsugar), CEO of Auki Labs (@Auki), joins Rich Robinson (@RichardRobinson) to break down co-embodiment, spatial computing, and the decentralized infrastructure behind physical AI.
From Beijing’s early tech boom to the future of robotics.
Retail is one of MANY industries the real world web can disrupt. We focus on it because we're building Cactus for retail, but the same principles apply elsewhere.
Perception robots can also do valuable work in agriculture. A new partner is tackling this for vineyards. 🍇
Have a robot? It's easy to bring it to the real world web which makes physical spaces instantly accessible to the robot.

Our promo robots now display different ads depending on where they are on their routes.
We often say "build what AI wants to buy" but in this case we're also building what some of the world's biggest brands have told us they want to buy. 🤖

Invent something useful enough and humanity will reshape the world to accommodate it. We did it with cars, and we'll do it with robots next.
Lots of big picture stuff covered in this chat, it's this week's must-listen! 🤖
The world today is built for humans, & cities built for cars... The world tomorrow will be built around the evolution of robotics.
It was a pleasure hosting this week's Robotics episode of the @supercycle Pod with @haitzu

Build on Auki. Be a first mover in AI copilots for the real world, autonomous robots, shared AR games, or anything else that needs spatial awareness.
There are so many trillion dollar opportunities in spatial computing. Get a grant and pursue one. aukilabs.com/developers/gran…
Monday grind 🔥🔥🔥
Updating Floorcraft Blasters, the open-source AR game from @AukiNetwork - really cool to see how their tech evolves.
Gameplay from today 👇
(The $Auki ecosystem is getting interesting 👀)

Our Head of Robotics @PhilHKG joined Auki in April 2022. We're so far ahead of the competition because we've literally been working on robotics since the bear market.
Last year we posted this brief look at some of Phil's earliest work. Crazy how far we've come since then. 🤖
We attacked the problem of robotics from an unusual angle: we started with phones.
The spatial computing capability of the phone is much like that of a robot - it just has no arms and legs.
That gave us the platform to build collaborative spatial computing for XR - that is immediately extendable to robotics proper.
We started with simple robots - and soon we'll be showing you state of the art robots like the ones from Unitree integrated with the Auki network.
Follow @PhilHKG for behind the scenes looks.

The AUKI/WETH pool on @PancakeSwap is live!
Trade $AUKI, provide liquidity, and earn a portion of the 30+ $CAKE/day that they've committed to reward LPs.
pancakeswap.finance/liquidit…
It's time to expand distribution of $AUKI to @PancakeSwap's millions of users!
We'll be migrating $250k of liquidity to PancakeSwap (still on Base) tomorrow where you'll be able to trade, provide liquidity, and earn $CAKE.

Pretty comprehensive overview of Auki's story, thesis, and recent news, complete with slides and tech demos.
If you're trying to DYOR on Auki, this is the one to watch. 👇
