Auki's May 22 community update focused on the technical foundations for multi-robot coordination, real deployments in the demo store, and opening more of the Exocortex's output to the public.
The biggest technical milestone was domain time sync for robots. Over the past two weeks the team built peer-to-peer networking that lets robots discover each other in a domain and establish shared timing. This is essential for collaborative perception and advanced orchestration.
A short demo showed three laptops attempting to blink in sync using standard OS time servers — they were visibly out of sync. Switching them to network/domain time brought them into alignment. Domain time works like server time in a game such as Fortnite, except the manager can hand off gracefully and the cluster survives the manager leaving. This is a direct requirement for the real-world web's peer-to-peer model.
The feature now works across multiple robots. It unlocks tighter coordination for tasks that depend on precise shared timing.

Phil has been training the Realman RS-02 to autonomously scan shelves in the demo store. The robot connects to the real-world web, pulls the map, learns price tag locations, and executes the task list.
The Galbot G1 is also active in the same space. Both the Realman and Galbot teams visited the lab recently for on-site collaboration. The robots have now moved out of the isolated robotics wing and into the live demo environment.
The current demo store is being upgraded. Auki has partnered with Bruegmann for high-quality retail shelving that uses gravity feeding and rollers to keep the store looking fresh and well-stocked. The new setup will be significantly more polished than the first iteration and is expected this summer.
Tracy extended the Exocortex presentation skills to generate external versions. Internal summaries are now filtered for sensitive information and turned into presentations suitable for the community, clients, and investors.
These will feed into the Pulse site (pulse.auki.com), which will host public weekly summaries, timelines, repo links, and a catch-up feature. The site is live but not yet populated; it is expected to go live with content in the coming days. Next week's community update is planned to walk through Pulse directly.
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.
