Welcome to another exciting Auki community update. We've had a productive week filled with significant milestones and strategic developments. Here’s a recap:
Our team recently returned from a successful week-long hackathon in London at Zappar's office. The highlight of this event was developing navigation for the blind that requires no app. This innovation not only enhances accessibility but is also strategically important due to upcoming legislation in the UK and Europe. As Nils noted: "Through spatial computing, we can make the world accessible to AI, and then AI makes the world accessible to people."
This breakthrough significantly lowers the barrier for widespread adoption, since after all no one wants to download another app on their phone. Now they won't have to.
Phil and his team achieved an impressive milestone this week by integrating a competitor’s robot, previously thought impossible, onto the Auki network. A competitor initially struggled for days, even flying in technicians from China, just to demonstrate basic robot navigation. In contrast, our team accomplished the integration efficiently, significantly surpassing previous limitations.
"It took them days... We've got them beat by a lot now. It is incredibly exciting."
We received our first major Letter of Intent (LOI) for a large number of Auki-manufactured retail use case robots, potentially scaling to hundreds or even thousands for a single customer. This demand illustrates rapid progress toward becoming a key robot distributor.
Our Ambassador Program continues to grow, encouraging community involvement. Additionally, our COO Santeri, newly arrived in Hong Kong, will join a strategic mountain hike per Auki tradition.
We acquired a robot arm for our robot dog, opening new possibilities and use cases, including potential pet robots and interactive AI companions.
"One of the things I want to prove we can do… is to make the robot point at something in the real world without using computer vision."
This week marked crucial progress toward making the physical world more accessible to AI and thereby enhancing human experiences. Nils summed it up perfectly: "Don't bet against Auki. It's just not smart."
Auki is building the Auki network, a decentralized machine perception network for the next 100 billion people, devices and AI on Earth and beyond. The Auki network is a posemesh, an external and collaborative sense of space that machines and AI can use to understand the physical world.
Our mission is to improve civilization’s intercognitive capacity; our ability to think, experience and solve problems together with each other and AI. The greatest way to extend human reach is to collaborate with others. We are building consciousness-expanding technology to reduce the friction of communication and bridge minds.

The Auki network is a posemesh: a decentralized machine perception network and collaborative spatial computing protocol, designed to allow digital devices to securely and privately exchange spatial data and computing power to form a shared understanding of the physical world.
The Auki network is an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based spatial computing network. Designed for a future where spatial computing is both collaborative and privacy-preserving, it limits any organization's surveillance capabilities and encourages sovereign ownership of private maps of personal and public spaces.
The decentralization also offers a competitive advantage, especially in shared spatial computing sessions, AR for example, where low latency is crucial.
