2 product updates we're pushing this week at CTRL R: โšก 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. โšก Mini-map for teleoperation. Robot owners can upload a 2d map of the environment and then see that mapโ€”along with the robot's position in itโ€”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 ๐Ÿคฉ

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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž If you have robots and you want to eliminate distance as an obstacle, use CTRL R ๐ŸŽฎ
We may have just created the WORLD'S FIRST REMOTE ROBOT SOCCER GAME with @Auki ๐Ÿ˜ฑ 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 here๐Ÿš€

Quick reminder that almost every robot manufacturer on earth has their own way to operate their robots. ๐Ÿ‘‰There's no standardized operating layer for someone to operate multiple robots using one system. But that's what we're building๐Ÿคซ

[ANOTHER PRODUCT UPGRADE]๐Ÿค“ Now users can customize robot commands and bind them to handheld controllers or keyboards! Currently you can operate robots on CTRL R using a: ๐Ÿ•น๏ธjoystick (mobile desktop), โŒจ๏ธkeyboard (WASD ), and ๐ŸŽฎgaming 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 โšก Now ANYONE can experience robot controlโ€”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.

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. ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿบ
I only want to work at places where each day feels like a hackathon

๐ŸšจHIRING FOUNDING ENGINEER๐Ÿšจ We're looking for a cracked dev with deep experience in AI and robotics to help CTRL R become the default way robots are operated as Founding Engineer/CTO. Right now, every robotics team is hacking together their own stack, and most industries still canโ€™t use robots effectively. So first we're bringing embodied AI to industries that don't have it, then helping robotics teams scale via our unified operating layer. If this sounds like you... -You prioritize efficiency over all else -You are half-human, half-Vulcan like Spock -You take pride in what you build -You are impatient -You do stuff when you say it'll be done (and if not, you communicate why not) -You can make complex topics easy to understand for non-experts -You can think big AND small -Impact is one of your core drivers ...then send us (@CTRLR_cloud) or @macklorden a DM and tell us what you've worked on and why you're interested. Details: -There is no salary offer as we are pre-revenue, but as a cofounder you'd own equity in the company. -Must be willing to live & work & build a team in Dubai -There is no guarantee of success. But if we do succeed, youโ€™ll have real ownership in something that defines an entire industry.

The best part is that our technology is FREE for anyone to use. If you have a robot, try it out and tell us what you think! client.ctrlr.cloud/

In the crypto world, the script is almost always the same: press releases, evocative renderings, promises of an imminent revolution... and then months, sometimes years, of silence before anything concrete reaches users. @Auki and @CTRLR_cloud have chosen to do the exact opposite. This difference demonstrates the commitment and approach championed by the two companies. This is the difference between vision and infrastructure. When they announced their collaboration on robotic co-embodiment in supermarkets, the demo was already live. Customers had already seen it. The product was already up and running. Credibility is built through small decisions, driven by an unwavering commitment to improving an entire industry.

I am building @CTRLR_cloud, which is making robotics AI technology accessible to businesses that traditionally have not been able access them, like retail and construction. Embodied AI will fundamentally transform Dubai in the coming decades and we want to help! How can we get involved?๐Ÿ™

"As Auki is building the physical world for AI & robotics to see and interact with, CTRL R is allowing the robots to be in that world, and for people of all different skill levels and industries to control that robot from anywhere in the world, and get the insights that would help improve their bottom line." Hell of a run-on sentence but it's all true.๐Ÿ˜…

After months of working together behind the scenes, we're super excited to announce our partnership with @Auki Auki makes the physical world visible for AI and robots. CTRL R makes it easy for anyone to operate robots, anywhere. Together, we're bringing AI & robotics technology to industries that need it the mostโ€”like retail, construction, and beyond. Lots more to come! ๐Ÿค–๐ŸŒŽ
