Teaching Robots Spatial Intelligence | Auki Labs

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Nils Pihl, CEO of Auki Labs, discussing the development of spatial intelligence in robots and the implications of decentralized systems.

In this special AI edition of The Edge of Show , we sit down with Nils Pihl , CEO of Auki Labs , to explore the intersection of robotics, behavioral engineering, and the "real-world web". Based in the robotics hub of Hong Kong , Pihl explains how Auki Labs is building the posemesh protocol , a decentralized system that allows humans, robots, and AI to share a unified spatial understanding. Discover how DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) is revolutionizing industries from retail to urban planning, and why Pihl believes physical AI co-pilots will soon outperform the impact of today’s Large Language Models.
