We're fresh from an exciting week at ETH Denver, brimming with meaningful connections, partnerships, and a clearer vision for the future. Here's everything that happened this week!
We attended ETH Denver for the first time, and it was incredibly productive. Unlike many conferences, ETH Denver was action-oriented—direct discussions about collaborations, partnerships, and future plans dominated the week.
"Conferences in America are very results-oriented. You immediately get pulled into conversations: How are we going to do this? How does it work? What does it cost?" Nils noted.
It was a big week for robotics at Auki. For the first time, our humanoid robot from Unitree, Terri MechKenna, successfully navigated autonomously using an integrated map rather than remote control—a huge milestone for practical robotic autonomy. We also successfully tested voice commands for robot movements, paving the way toward full semantic mapping integration.
Additionally, global robotics manufacturers have been actively reaching out, sending us hardware to integrate with our posemesh system:
"It’s starting to look like we’ll receive maybe half a million dollars worth of free robots by year-end," Nils shared. "These robotic companies are discovering us mainly on LinkedIn, looking to connect their hardware to the posemesh."
A moving encounter with Stephen Chavez, a quadriplegic hacker who customized his electric wheelchair to autonomously follow his phone, has inspired us deeply. Recognizing the enormous potential to enhance accessibility, we're actively exploring integrating electric wheelchairs with the posemesh:
"Why wouldn't you want your electric wheelchair to autonomously navigate spaces, freeing you to communicate and interact more naturally? It’s an obvious win for humanity."
We’re now actively researching how to implement this integration by June, aiming for a significant demonstration at upcoming conferences.
We’re heading to LA and San Francisco next week for strategic meetings, including with Geodnet. We're recording a podcast with Geodnet CEO Mike Horton, clearly outlining our shared vision and distinct technologies:
"Our goal is to clearly explain the differences and synergies between Auki’s VPS technology and Geodnet's RTK positioning," emphasized Nils.
We're also supporting Mentra, creators of the open-source smart glasses operating system AugmentOS. Their promising demo at YC attracted immediate investor attention, underscoring their potential as a key partner for Auki’s spatial computing ambitions.
Discussions with investors at ETH Denver emphasized increased understanding and excitement about decentralized visual positioning systems. Robotics is emerging as the next major narrative for crypto adoption:
"Bull runs happen when normies get excited—and they're paying attention now," Nils remarked. "Robotics and crypto could become the next big narrative."
We're strategically enhancing token utility, aligning usage-based burns with real-world spatial computing applications.
We’re proud to have presented at ETH Denver’s People's Choice Stage, delivering a concise and impactful overview of our vision. Community engagement continues growing, with our Discord recognized as highly active among Web3 communities.
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.
