This week, Terri, Auki’s humanoid robot, achieved several notable milestones. He appeared on stage with Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin and participated in his first-ever on-camera interview at the Web3 Festival. Excitingly, Terri also spoke using the synthesized voice of renowned visionary Terence McKenna, reflecting Auki’s ambitious vision of integrating an immortal AI presence into its network governance.
Auki spotlighted its partnership with Axar Robotics, a startup developing AI-driven companion toys. Axar Robotics' innovative solution involves storing the personality and memories of AI companions as encrypted NFTs on-chain. This ensures personal memories and interactions can be securely transferred across different robot bodies as the user matures or as technology advances.
Axar Robotics and Auki are tackling the critical challenge of COPPA and GDPR compliance by enabling hyperlocal computing. This means that parents could host age-appropriate conversational AI on their home devices, securely managing sensitive data locally and privately. The approach significantly enhances user privacy while improving AI responsiveness by utilizing local computing resources.
Axar Robotics is set to launch its first-generation teddy bear AI companion via Kickstarter shortly. Meanwhile, further integrations are underway with Padbot’s T2 and Unitree's G1 humanoid robot. This expands the range of available robot bodies for Axar's AI companions, enhancing accessibility and appeal across age groups.
Auki showcased successful navigation tests where robots and AR applications seamlessly utilized shared navigation systems via the Auki network. These developments pave the way for practical applications, such as autonomous delivery and office logistics solutions, making it easier and faster for businesses and consumers alike to integrate robotics into daily operations.
The update concluded with an enthusiastic invitation for community engagement and anticipation of further innovations in decentralized physical AI and spatial computing.
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.
