🔎 Pokémon Go Is Secretly Training Delivery Robots
What started as a global AR gaming phenomenon has quietly evolved into real-world infrastructure. Data captured by millions of Pokémon Go players, over 30 billion images of streets, landmarks, and public spaces, is now being used by Niantic Spatial to train advanced visual positioning systems for delivery robots. In partnership with Coco Robotics, these AI models allow robots to navigate sidewalks with centimeter-level accuracy, solving one of the hardest problems in automation where GPS often fails. The result is a powerful shift where a game built for entertainment has become a foundational layer for robotics, logistics, and the emerging spatial AI economy.
