This week marked an exciting breakthrough as Auki partnered with Mentra to demonstrate smart glasses integrated with Auki's decentralized visual positioning system (VPS). These lightweight glasses, weighing under 45 grams, accurately identified their spatial location using camera data matched with decentralized VPS data. Auki and Mentra will showcase this technology at AWE, the world’s largest AR conference, featuring a simulated apartment and store environment.
The Auki team visited Guangzhou for strategic discussions with PadBot, a leading robotics firm known for its restaurant and hospitality robots. PadBot’s international distributor, Allset Robotics, will soon join Auki’s Hong Kong office space. Integrating PadBot’s robots with the Auki network enables collaborative spatial mapping, simplifying robot deployment for businesses. This reduces installation complexities, making robots more accessible to small businesses.
Nils unveiled an innovative approach to robot distribution, emphasizing logistics networks and rapid aftermarket support to handle repairs efficiently. This strategy significantly enhances scalability, aiming for thousands of robot deployments this year. Containerized repair facilities and standardized training programs are central to this ambitious expansion plan.
Auki continues to tackle significant challenges in retail, where suboptimal inventory management results in nearly a trillion dollars in losses globally. By incorporating spatial AI and robotics, Auki aims to mitigate stockouts and improve shelf space usage. Major retail pilots are underway in Denmark, Poland, Germany, and the United States, potentially generating substantial on-chain token burns from application usage.
Nils announced an exciting new engineering initiative—domain-side Large Language Models (LLMs). These localized AI models offer privacy-preserving interactions and specialized retail assistance directly within retail domains. They enable real-time, in-store assistance for personalized shopping experiences, drastically enhancing customer engagement.
The update concluded by inviting community developers and collaborators to participate in further innovations, emphasizing the significant progress and upcoming developments across AR, robotics, and decentralized AI.
Auki is making the physical world accessible to AI by building the real world web: away for robots and digital devices like smart glasses and phones to browse, navigate, and search physical locations.
70% of the world economy is still tied to physical locations and labor, so making the physical world accessible to AI represents a 3X increase in the TAM of AI in general. Auki's goal is to become the decentralized nervous system of AI in the physical world, providing collaborative spatial reasoning for the next 100bn devices on Earth and beyond.
