This week, we announced a new research partnership with Silencio, one of the largest communities building on the peaq network. Silencio specializes in crowdsourced noise pollution measurements, and through our collaboration, we'll explore using the posemesh protocol to significantly improve the accuracy of their data. This will potentially enable centimeter-level noise measurements within indoor venues, allowing detailed insights like pinpointing noise levels at specific restaurant tables or hotel rooms. Silencio is also interested in expanding beyond noise data, exploring other environmental sensors in collaboration with the Auki Network.
We warmly welcome members of the Silencio community and look forward to sharing updates as our joint research progresses.
Our COO Santeri spoke at the private United Founders event in Bali, an engaging conversation focused on spatial computing and the Posemesh protocol. This event brought together technical founders and entrepreneurs, providing insights into real-world applications and opportunities within our ecosystem.
Additionally, a Twitter Space event hosted by the vVv community covered in-depth discussions on Chinese robotics and AI advancements. The full conversation is available online and highly recommended for those interested in understanding the current robotics landscape.
This Chinese New Year featured significant showcases from China's robotics industry. State television highlighted dozens of Unitree H1 humanoid robots performing choreographed dances. These robots are commercially available, reflecting China's robust robotics capability compared to Western counterparts. While the West remains early in their commercialization stages, China's robotics industry continues to demonstrate notable leadership.
At Auki, we discussed the distinctions between regular AI, agentic AI, and the emerging concept of "physical AI." Physical AI integrates reasoning capabilities, spatial awareness, and an understanding of physics—essential elements for general-purpose robots capable of practical tasks, from simple item retrievals to complex interactions like making coffee. This continues to be a critical focus for our network.
Our own robotics development efforts include a wheeled "camera tower" robot for retail environments. This robot is designed to autonomously scan retail aisles at night, documenting inventory conditions to enhance store operations significantly. We've recently secured a Letter of Intent (LOI) for this innovative robotic solution from a retail client.
We're also actively supporting ecosystem projects through connections with investors and providing strategic assistance. Developers and entrepreneurs interested in building on the Auki network are encouraged to reach out for potential collaboration and support.
We're inviting community suggestions for naming our new robotic integrations—an engaging and playful opportunity for our community members. Additionally, Auki merchandise remains popular, with new limited-edition items expected soon at our official store.
As we enter this exciting new year, we encourage community members to enhance their personal agency, proactively embracing roles in shaping the future alongside the inevitable rise of robotics and AI.
Auki is making the physical world accessible to AI by building the real world web: a way 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.
