The Large Geospatial Model Powering Embodied AI at Scale

We are entering the era of embodied AI – the integration of artificial intelligence into physical systems, including robots, AR glasses, phones and drones, enabling them to understand and interact with the physical world at scale. To deploy millions and perhaps billions of these systems across complex environments and in coordination with one another a foundational layer of spatial intelligence is required. This is only possible with a shared, persistent map and understanding of the physical world, provided by the Niantic Spatial Large Geospatial Model (LGM).

Ground Truth at Super Bowl LX: Teaching Robots to Play in a Digital World

In partnership with the Bay Area Host Committee, Niantic Spatial developed a rapid-prototype "moonshot" demo that synchronized physical robots with a multiplayer AR experience. By leveraging high-fidelity digital twins and our Visual Positioning System (VPS), we demonstrated how machines and digital content can share a common understanding of the physical world to create new forms of utility and entertainment.
