How Pokemon Go Helped Build a Groundbreaking AI Mapping System
Remember Pokemon Go? It turns out, without even knowing it, we were all contributing to the development of a unique, world-class cartographic AI.
The data gathered by players—over 10 million images from around the globe—served as the foundation for a Chinese “spatial AI” system. This system enhances the way robots interact with their environment by creating detailed, high-quality maps and 3D models of locations and objects.
Thanks to games like Pokemon Go, the AI’s database continues to grow with millions of new images added weekly, driving advancements in robotics and spatial awareness
