Auki community update recap: Jun 15, 2025

From AWE Success to SuperAI Singapore

Our team is wrapping up a fruitful visit to the US and heading to Singapore for the SuperAI conference. Here's what we've been up to and what's next for Auki.

AWE 2025 Highlights and Awards

We recently exhibited at AWE, the world's largest AR and VR conference in Long Beach, alongside industry giants like Snap, Xreal, and Niantic. Our booth, shared with our partners at Mentra, showcased cutting-edge demos including spatial awareness for smart glasses, robotics integrated with the Auki Network, and highly anticipated features such as app-free navigation.

We're especially proud to announce that we won two Auggie Awards:

  • Best Enterprise Solution
  • Best Web3 Implementation

We met numerous new partners, developers joining our ecosystem, and received applications for grants that promise exciting developments and further token burns.

Talks and Panels: Sharing Our Vision

At AWE, Nils and Terri delivered a keynote titled The Great Reversal, highlighting a crucial shift where digital entities—AI and robots—are entering the physical world, rather than humans escaping into digital worlds. If you missed it, it's a great summary of our foundational thesis.

At SuperAI in Singapore, we’ll explore further the potential of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). We believe DePIN will serve as the decentralized nervous system for AI in the future.

Additionally, Nils will moderate an insightful panel featuring leading robotics innovators from Unitree and Persona AI, discussing the challenges and paths to bringing humanoid robots to market.

Expanding Implementations and Burns

We continue expanding, notably in Singapore, where a new chain of retail stores is now integrating with Auki technology, leading to further token burns. Expect frequent updates on this front as our ecosystem continues to grow.

Joint Office Plans in San Francisco

Given our close collaboration with Mentra, we're actively discussing establishing a joint office in San Francisco. This strategic location will support ongoing efforts to embed spatial awareness at the OS level in smart glasses, a significant step toward broader industry adoption. We also had encouraging conversations with another major OS provider at AWE—stay tuned for possible developments next year.

Open Source and the Future of Spatial Computing Regulation

One reason we're committed to open-source standards like the posemesh protocol is the inevitability of future regulations governing spatial computing and camera use. Examples already exist, like Japan requiring smartphones to audibly indicate when photos are taken to prevent covert photography.

We foresee regulations extending to mandatory consent-based filming zones—schools, military bases, and cinemas. Auki aims to provide the standards and infrastructure needed to make these regulations practical and enforceable at the OS level, ensuring user privacy and security.

Looking Forward to SuperAI

Our immediate focus is SuperAI, where we'll showcase innovations that impressed at AWE, including interoperable robotics and ultra-lightweight smart glasses with spatial awareness. Our aim is to deepen industry connections, meet new potential partners, and solidify our position as leaders in decentralized spatial computing infrastructure.

Stay tuned—we'll share more exciting news following SuperAI!

About Auki

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.
