This past week was packed with excitement, notable robot showcases at Consensus in Hong Kong, insights into robotics technology, and behind-the-scenes developments at Auki. Here’s everything we got up to!
We brought our Unitree G1 humanoid robot, Terri MechKenna, to Consensus Hong Kong, and he quickly became the event's star attraction. Terri shook hands with Hong Kong government officials, featured in thousands of photos, and significantly outperformed having a traditional booth.
“Having that robot was way better than a booth. We got invited absolutely everywhere. The robot was super popular.”
We’ll soon release an in-depth, honest review video covering the robot's real-world capabilities and limitations.
Several new robots arrived from PadBots:
Interestingly, each robot currently maps environments independently, making them non-interoperable—even with other robots from the same manufacturer. Connecting these robots to the posemesh will enable interoperability, dramatically simplifying deployment and collaboration.
“That’s the state of robotics today—each robot is its own little universe,” Nils highlighted.
We discussed the recent viral demo from the American robotics company, Figure. While visually impressive—with collaborative object handling—careful analysis revealed limitations:
“There’s a lot of wow factor, but practically, much cheaper robots could do similar tasks better.”
Despite the excitement surrounding humanoid robots, practical applications remain limited. Non-humanoid robots are often more effective for specific tasks, such as greeting guests or patrolling areas.
“Out of all the robots we've shown you, the humanoid currently provides the least practical value. It's more of a novelty.”
We had encouraging discussions with major companies, including a significant automotive firm in China, focusing on coordinated autonomous driving solutions. Additionally, meetings with Layer 1 blockchain platforms have reinforced growing interest in our decentralized visual positioning technology.
We’re attending upcoming conferences in Denver, potentially bringing Terri along—though logistics remain challenging. The community continues to grow, and we encourage motivated individuals to reach out for job opportunities, even if positions aren’t formally listed.
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.
