Robotics Integration and Strategic Vision

Humanoid Integration into the Auki Network

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.

Evaluating Robot Form Factors

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's Position in the Robotics Market

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."

Custom Retail Robot Development

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."

Market Vision and Investment Strategy

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.

Decentralized Machine Perception: The Bigger Vision

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.

Building Community Infrastructure

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.

アウキ・ラボについて

Aukiはポーズメッシュという地球上、そしてその先の1000億の人々、デバイス、AIのための分散型機械認識ネットワークを構築しています。ポーズメッシュは、機械やAIが物理的世界を理解するために使用可能な、外部的かつ協調的な空間感覚です。

私たちの使命は、人々の相互認知能力、つまり私たちが互いに、そしてAIとともに考え、経験し、問題を解決する能力を向上させることです。人間の能力を拡大させる最も良い方法は、他者と協力することです。私たちは、意識を拡張するテクノロジーを構築し、コミュニケーションの摩擦を減らし、心の橋渡しをします。

ポーズメッシュについて

ポーズメッシュは、分散型で、ブロックチェーンベースの空間コンピューティングネットワークを動かすオープンソースのプロトコルです。

ポーズメッシュは、空間コンピューティングが協調的でプライバシーを保護する未来をもたらすよう設計されています。いかなる組織の監視能力も制限し、空間のプライベートな地図の自己所有権を奨励します。

分散化はまた、特に低レイテンシが重要な共同ARセッションにおいて、競争優位性を有します。ポスメッシュは分散化運動の次のステップであり、成長するテック大手のパワーに対抗するものです。

アウキ・ラボはポスメッシュにより、ポーズメッシュのソフトウェア・インフラの開発を託されました。
