Making the physical world accessible to AI by building the real world web for robots and intelligent machines.

Experimenting with a camera-based scanner to map products instead of using a separate barcode scanner.

It's a much more streamlined UX, and every bit of time saved during the setup process multiplies as we scale up.

Augmented reality is a robotics problem.

Reminder: you can upload images of shelves from supermarkets, convenience stores, or DIY stores and earn 30 $AUKI per price tag or empty space annotation. 🛒 https://t.co/aXd0OVvIXY

Demo: spatial compute node calculating a path for a robot.

In a future where we send robots to do our errands, venues may not want to give those visiting robots their whole map. Instead, robots will just communicate with the local spatial compute node and get a path.

@GoodDay1776 If we become a huge company, we'll be doing huge buybacks and burns. See whitepaper: https://t.co/MCHjKK3dXd

We've been saying for years that big tech will be after data about your private spaces. It's happening every day with different companies and different ways to get it.

Auki is building a future where robots can clean your apartment without keeping your data. We'll get there.

[shift @joinshiftX]

Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free.

Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing.

In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed.

By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services.

Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way.

Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

[Auki @Auki]

Our SDK rewrite is underway and already deployed on a number of robots/devices. It's getting much easier for any robot, phone, glasses, or browser to connect to the real world web.

We're building it in public. It's open source with a public kanban: https://t.co/gYziHe36JN

Should we host a few ROBO-FIFA games with remote players from the same countries as the live games?

Who would play and what country would you play for?

Who knew robots got World Cup fever too…

[Auki @Auki]

@AiPrepperX Sure, if you're designing a new store from scratch. Existing stores don't have rails on the ceiling, but they all have floors.

Anyway we're leaning toward having the robots do much of their work during closing hours.

[Auki @Auki]

Already much faster now that it no longer spends ages planning moves it can’t do.

This one is 8x speed.

[Auki @Auki]

Dual arm scanning unlocked on the @RealmanRobotics RS-02! \o/

(~28x speed)

[Auki @Auki]

@CryptoDevil_ @CactusXR Thanks! To clarify, Nils wasn’t there; the store owner gave the demo.

[Auki @Auki]

Couple more shots of the Swedish PM visiting ICA and getting a @CactusXR demo. 🇸🇪

[Nils @broodsugar]

Modernizing every part of the supply chain is a national interest.

For everyday consumers, the supply chain ends in the grocery store.

In this picture, the @SwedishPM gets a demonstration of @Auki’s AI copilot @CactusXR for retail by store owner Johan Westlund, ICA Kvantum Värnamo.

Sweden has always been a leader in innovation and technological adoption.

[Auki @Auki]

@TradeyeLLC While you wait for the humanoids, maybe you could talk to @augmentedcamel about using your skilled trade footage to build AI copilots that run on glasses.

[Auki @Auki]

@Buckstewerbuck1 No one will watch several minutes of this. Slow it down by 8x, that's how fast it is in real time.

[Auki @Auki]

@augmentedcamel Awesome milestone, congratulations!! 🎉

- New SDK open source with public kanban
- SDK goal: any browser, robot, phone, or glasses can join a domain
- Galbot and RealMan autonomously scanning shelves
- Storecraft a.k.a. robots in Cactus
- Gaussian splat improvements
- Nils going to Europe to plan robot rollouts

$AUKI JUST MADE ROBOTS SEE THE WORLD 🌍 🤖

[Auki @Auki]

This integration makes any retailer who's using Cactus automatically robot-ready without needing any forward deployed engineer to visit their store. 🤖🌵

[Cactus @CactusXR]

Robots in Cactus: click on any location or shelf in the store and the robot will navigate there autonomously and scan it.
