🤖WATCH: A new AI-powered factory robot is showing off advanced motor skills by packing orders with human-like precision.
Physical AI is moving from demos to real warehouse work.
2 product updates we're pushing this week at CTRL+R:
⚡ 2 way-audio for robots & users. You speak into your computer's mic and hear it coming from the robot. Likewise, the teleoperator will also be able to hear what the robot's microphone picks up.
We haven't explored these types of use cases yet, but this will be really good for managing long-distance relationships. FaceTime lets you see/hear who you're talking to, but CTRL+R would allow you to care for your elderly parents, play toss with your kids while you're on a business trip, massage your stressed out partner, etc.
⚡ Mini-map for teleoperation. Robot owners can upload a 2d map of the environment and then see that map—along with the robot's position in it—while teleoperating. Think: minimaps from something like COD or Halo.
Will update when it's fully pushed to production for everyone to try.
P.S. - about to massively expand our team here in Dubai 🤩
Spoke to @boosterobotics team today and they confirmed that yes, we did in fact host the WORLD'S FIRST remote robot soccer game with @Auki 😎
If you have robots and you want to eliminate distance as an obstacle, use CTRL+R 🎮
We may have just created the WORLD'S FIRST REMOTE ROBOT SOCCER GAME with @Auki 😱
We did it using CTRL+R software, Auki's robots & arena, google meet, and a few dozen community members calling from all over the world - Miami, Dubai, Manchester, D.C. and more.
All in real time.
AND this was our first time testing it out.
Only up from here🚀
Quick reminder that almost every robot manufacturer on earth has their own way to operate their robots.
👉There's no standardized operating layer for someone to operate multiple robots using one system.
But that's what we're building🤫
@lukas_m_ziegler One unified robot operations platform to control/teleoperate, monitor, and manage any robot fleet.
(Honestly mind-blowing that companies have to build in-house software just to operate their robots.)
[ANOTHER PRODUCT UPGRADE]🤓
Now users can customize robot commands and bind them to handheld controllers or keyboards!
Currently you can operate robots on CTRL+R using a:
🕹️joystick (mobile + desktop),
⌨️keyboard (WASD+), and
🎮gaming controller (Xbox, logitech)
But it's gone far beyond just steering the robot now. You can map ANY command to a robot and activate it with the press of a button.
For instance, you could steer with the left joystick, jump with the A key, punch with B, take a screenshot with left bumper, and activate a voice command with right trigger.
Any action the robot can do can now be mapped to your favorite controller and configured however you want.
Why is this cool?
Most robots ship with a custom handheld controller. But what happens if you need multiple people to be able to use the robot and they aren't all in the same room together? Or what if you don't like the controller they give you or its configuration? Or what if you just want more options?
CTRL+R fixes all this. Use our platform to operate ANY robot, from ANYWHERE, EASILY.
Also we're continuously making it more and more customizable. VR headsets and haptic suits are next.
[PRODUCT UPDATE]
We've now got @nvidia's Isaac Sim up and running on CTRL+R ⚡
Now ANYONE can experience robot control—whether you have a robot or not.
This is perfect for industries like retail, construction, security etc. that typically don't already have robots but want to explore just how easy it can be.
It's also good for robotics teams that want to test other solutions without breaking company rules for downloading outside software onto the company hardware.
By the way our software is totally free to use.
Everyday we're removing friction with operating robots.

NEW PARTNERSHIP🚨
@Auki teams up with @CTRLR_cloud
This collaboration enables humans to remotely control robots from anywhere!
It’s essentially digital teleportation
Imagine working a robot-operated job in another country…
Without ever leaving your home!
The window for opportunity here is huge:
In my last post I broke down how this tech will be used for inspections in retail
But the use-cases don’t stop there…
On the entertainment side, check out this remote football demo from @Auki
Personally I’d love to able to tap in and fight in a robotics UFC style event
[🤖] Security patrols
[🤖] Hotel Receptionist
[🤖] Warehouses operations
[🤖] Themed game events
——————————————————
The list goes as far as your imagination
——————————————————
An early version of this was seen with @Tesla manned coffee-serving robots
But this is on a global scale…
AUKI also adds another layer:
[✅] Collaborative Spatial Computing
[✅] Collaborative Machine Perception
Now robots don’t just receive commands
They gain a shared understanding of the environment around them
This enables them to:
[🧭] Navigate spaces autonomously
[🫳] Interact with their surrounding
[👥] Coordinate with humans & robots
—————————————————
It’s advanced robotic automation:
autopilot capabilities where suited
—————————————————
Whilst @CactusXR, AUKI’s spatial AI platform gives the human remote user:
[🛰️] Task alerts, tracking & logging
[🗺️] Location layouts & planograms
[📊] Spatial analytics
[🥽] Indoor AR navigation
[🏢] Real-time 3D digital twins
—————————————————
Now work that needs physical presence
won’t be tied to where your located…
If you’re qualified, that roll can be yours!
—————————————————
@Takuzennn This is awesome👏. Just sent you a DM - I'm building @CTRLR_cloud which specializes in making robot operations easy + fully customizable. We might be able to provide value
Every day feels like a hackathon at Auki.
Want a brief tour of our robotics lab? This @CTRLR_cloud-operated Booster will give you one.
Try it yourself this Thursday during our Robots & Beers event. 🤖🍺
