Description

FrodoBots AI is a company focused on crowdsourcing real-world datasets through robotic gaming. They create fun gaming experiences with real-life robots, believing that with the right game design, any challenge involving tele-operated robots can be turned into an enjoyable experience for gamers. Using a low-latency network and browser-based controls, players from anywhere can participate. The company utilizes well-designed tokenomics to facilitate the buildout of a globally distributed network of low-cost robots, sharing rewards with participants. Gamers' actions serve as training data for embodied foundational models, with the ultimate goal of solving Embodied AGI. FrodoBots AI plans to open-source much of their work, including datasets, hardware designs, and SDKs, to collaborate with the research community. They have two gaming titles in development: 'Earth Rovers' (Public Beta), a real-world scavenger hunt game with sidewalk robots for robotic navigation, and 'Octo Arms' (Invite Only), a 3D puzzle game with robotic arms for robotic manipulation.
