This week at Auki, we've begun integrating our newly received Unitree humanoid robot into the Auki network. Initial work indicates a substantial effort ahead, as these robots currently have limited capabilities beyond basic movements. "Robotics is still in its very early stage," making this a prime opportunity for Auki to add significant value through our network and software solutions.
We've been evaluating different robotic form factors, particularly questioning the efficiency of humanoid robots. Despite their popularity, humanoid robots require considerable energy just to maintain balance. "Keeping the robot standing eats up a lot of battery," according to Nils, highlighting a preference for robots with wheels or quadruped designs. We particularly admire form factors like those from Neura Robotics, which combine a single arm with a wheeled base for practical tasks.
Auki is strategically positioned to become a major distributor of specialized robots, especially within the retail sector. We've secured a promising Letter of Intent (LOI) from a retail client, which could translate into significant robot sales. Nils is optimistic, stating, "I think that Auki is in a good position to become one of the largest robot distributors over the next two years."
We're developing custom robots tailored specifically to retail needs, combining camera towers for scanning shelves with robotic arms equipped with barcode scanners. Early prototypes demonstrate the system's effectiveness, showing how easily our robots integrate into the store environment, significantly outperforming competitors in ease and speed of deployment. "Our competitors' robots take days to weeks to set up, and we can get our robot up and running in a single day."
We're actively engaging with major investors to raise between $35 and $60 million. These funds will accelerate our network and software development. Meanwhile, the Auki network’s value proposition has attracted Web2 robotics companies, who are approaching us for software partnerships.
Highlighting our broader strategic vision, we believe the future of AI lies in improving its perception of the physical world, not merely increasing GPU capacity. Our decentralized machine perception network aims to be foundational for both AR and robotics, potentially surpassing even the value of Layer 1 blockchains. We firmly believe that the most impactful thing humanity can do this decade is make the world AI accessible.
Our ongoing renovations at Level 10 reflect our commitment to supporting startups building on the Auki network, providing office space for collaboration and innovation. Emphasizing community importance, we see our infrastructure as "civilization-scale," jointly built, funded, and operated by people globally.
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.
