What is the real world web? xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1vKpPNvdB…
Our @CactusXR playbook is getting out.
Do you think retailers would spend 0.5% of their revenue on physical AI — the most powerful tool they've ever had?
That's already $125 billion. It's a big pie, and we've got a head start on cutting out a slice.
How big can physical AI in retail get?
Nils from @Auki shares the numbers here, from signed locations to 2027 deployments:
▪️ Auki has already signed over 1,000 locations for @CactusXR
▪️ The project plans to deploy over 1,000 robot store managers in 2027, connected to Cactus and delivered to existing customers
▪️ Retail could spend over $125 billion on physical AI within 5 years
This is what a clear plan looks like: a product and signed locations today, robot deployments planned for 2027 and over $125 billion in retail spending expected within 5 years👀
imho the future looks bright 🦾
Nils recently gave a keynote at the Humanoid Hub conference on our core thesis of the real world web and why we're making environments smarter while everyone else is only focused on the robots.
For yesterday's community update he went through it again. 👇
This guy @Scobleizer ran into sounds like he's figured out a lot of stuff about robotics. 😉
At the @TheHumanoidHub robotics conference in San Francisco and this captures why I love San Francisco.
The guy who is giving a keynote today, @broodsugar is talking with @JayLiStanford who is making robot hands in USA. I turn on the camera and get a lot of info about what is happening at the bleeding edge.
And at the end we talk about the impact @elonmusk is having on not just him but the whole industry.
Never been to one of our robots & beers events? Here's what you're missing:
- Presentations with lively Q&A
- Robot soccer mayhem
- Networking with robotic manufacturers, academics, creatives, web3, finance, international entrepreneurs looking to found startups in HK
- Beers 🍻
Looks like an average grocery store, but it's actually a robotics data collection and evaluation environment in the @Auki office in Hong Kong. I'm slowly starting to understand why they say robotics is so far ahead here...

No team of humans or AI agents works well together without shared context.
Same goes for teams of humans and robots. Check out this demo of shared spatial context, built on the real world web. 👇
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.
Collaborative proprioception — where robots know where other robots and devices are without relying on their camera — is going to enable sci-fi levels of autonomous coordination.
Only on the real world web.
- Keynote + live demo planned for Humanoid Hub conference on Friday
- Recap of NACS — world's largest convenience store expo — where we demoed @CactusXR with Bruegmann and @bracketbot
- Collaborative proprioception demo
- AR glasses for retail employees using gaze detection
Building something cool in robotics? Here’s your best chance to show it off to the HK robotics community.
We'll also be hosting the next Robots and Beers event on Thursday. luma.com/cxhb5ij1
Speaking slots are still available.
Want to present your robotics project? Maybe your AI paper?
Reach out and take the stage.
