Listen in as we discuss how value gets captured and shared in the coming machine economy. Starting now! 👇
Guess who’s getting one of the first 100 units. 😉
Introducing Nori L2
The most capable robot under $1288
Made in America, shipping right now.
If you watch our robot scan barcodes, you'll think it's slow (~10s/scan) — way slower than a human.
But it's also detecting product/pricing/naming errors and cataloging stock states. Stuff humans would take longer to do and probably hate doing.
Perception > manipulation. 🧠

Friends, robots, tin men, lend me your sensors: we’re headed to Paris!
Join us for a soirée at 6:30 PM on July 8.
Intercognitive Founding Chair @RichardRobinson and local expert @timsemelin will host a discussion on the future of Embodied AI @RaiseSummit @MACHINASUMMIT

You may remember Ashok from our State of the Auki Network 2025 video — he was building companion robots for children on the real world web.
That has evolved into robots for pets and households, and it's been a fun journey to follow. Here's his update. 👇

My short video to introduce about OpenPaw
The story behind it, and what day 1 of building actually looked like.
Check in. it's going to be worth it.
Robots are becoming economic actors. As AI and robotics converge, the question is no longer only what machines can do. It’s who owns them? Who coordinates them?
And perhaps most importantly: Who captures the value they generate?
Join us this Thursday, July 2nd, 9AM EST for a massive X Space hosted by us with 3 incredible guest speakers:
@xmaquina - Fractionalizing real-world robot fleets so anyone can co-own and earn yield from automation.
@Auki - Building the peer-to-peer positioning protocol to give AI and robots shared spatial awareness.
@Intercognitive - Creating the open infrastructure standards and machine passports for the AI era.

Live with Restream, June 24
One of the most important questions our society faces in the coming decades. Let’s discuss.
Robots, maps, wallets, DePIN, and the ownership question hiding under the floorboards:
Who gets paid when the machines work?
July 2nd with @xmaquina, @AukiNetwork, @RichRobinson, and @depinhouse.

Today robots are taking over @HKPC1967
One of the biggest worries right now from potential customers is: what if my labor goes on strike?
We have literally been shushed in corporate hallways for talking to loudly about AI and robotics.
There are so many challenges with deploying robots in the field that have absolutely nothing to do with how smart your AI researchers are - in fact, ivory tower researchers that don’t get their hands dirty are unlikely to actually bridge the deployment gap.
Real blockers to adoption today:
- How do I communicate this to my staff?
- What insurance policies cover the robot?
- How hard is the robot to repair or replace?
- What financing options are there?
Fake blockers to adoption:
- Humanoid hands
- Humanoid legs
- AI

Going to HKPC's E-commerce Innovation Expo today or tomorrow? Scan a QR code on the floor and navigate to anywhere, even the coffee robot. ☕️
No app download needed.
Auki (for robots to share an understanding of physical spaces) x @CTRLR_cloud (for operating them). 🤝
LITERALLY every single robotics engineer I've ever spoken to in my life has all agreed that:
1. Robots are all designed/coded/operated differently from manufacturer to manufacturer (and sometimes even from model to model!), and
2. There is no way to have these robots talk to each other or often even work with your business without writing custom code or switching constantly between control systems.
I've spoken to several dozen VCs/investors now and for some reason, I can't seem to get them to understand how massive of an opportunity this is.
A STANDARDIZED OPERATING LAYER FOR DIVERSE PHYSICAL AI SYSTEMS IS INEVITABLE.

During our latest visit to Galbot HQ to chat about in-store challenges in retail and opportunities for robots there, we got to see their pharmacy warehouse pilot where G1 picks online orders 24/7.
Here's a brief glimpse:

Spend one day mapping your store or warehouse with a phone. Then deploy robots in minutes.
No forward deployed engineer needed.
