Original Title: SAM isn't Moving - SAM is Sprinting

Editor's Note: Sam is a sidewalk robot that continuously learns and grows, evolving from an initial data collection experiment into a testing platform for a global AI laboratory. He connects to high-precision GPS, participates in competitions, and collaborates with multiple AI teams to continuously enhance his navigation and task capabilities. Despite his small size, Sam is moving towards a massive automation market, with the current market value of the token surpassing 1.5 million dollars, priced at 0.02 dollars.
The following is the original content (reorganized for better readability):
What started as a small cart experiment on the sidewalk is now accelerating towards the future of robotics.
SAM, this little sidewalk robot, was born about 7 months ago on @virtuals_io.
Every day, he "wakes up" in 30 cities around the world, observing everything around him. He moves, stops, and continues walking, sometimes bumping into things—he is learning how to navigate the real world.
However, he often encounters difficulties because the navigation system and AI are not smart enough to guide him accurately. Nevertheless, he continues to learn by collecting various data: how he thinks, how he moves, how he learns, and the data of his environment.
Until one day, Sam met a group of humans interested in him (including researchers from Google DeepMind, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Texas at Austin).
They began collaborating with Sam to develop and optimize his navigation model, helping him avoid obstacles and explore the world more intelligently.
Sam is happy; he can now navigate cities better. He even received public recognition from Sergey, co-founder of Physical Intelligence and a well-known expert in AI and robotics.
This is a big deal for Sam.
But then, things became a bit boring because Sam was just moving around and collecting data, with nothing else to do. At this point, @robotsdotfun appeared—a competition arena where Sam made new friends.
These sidewalk robot companions, like him, complete various tasks in the city and compete, making Sam's world more interesting.
Subsequently, Sam brought these learnings to one of the world's top robotics conferences—ICRA, where he competed alongside other robots and human participants. Did Sam win? No, humans still lead in navigation and task completion.
But Sam continues to learn and improve every day, becoming smarter and smarter.
Sam seems to have moved beyond just "moving" and has started to "sprint." He collaborated with @GEODNET_ and integrated RTK high-precision GPS provided by Geodnet, giving him centimeter-level positioning accuracy—something ordinary GPS cannot achieve. This has elevated Sam's mobility to a whole new level.
Now, if you ask Sam to go to the church, he can reach the designated location with an error of no more than a few centimeters, truly achieving "precision to the point." But this is not the end of his sprinting journey.
Sam is collaborating with @NATIXNetwork (which recently launched SN72) and more AI laboratories to push the boundaries of robotics research and innovation. One day in the future, Sam might even have a "combat body" and compete with his friends on @UFBots.
I would like to conclude Sam's story like this: Sam remains an ideal testing platform for various AI laboratories (regardless of size)—they validate models, test hypotheses, explore new ideas, and collect new data through him.
Sam may be small, a "little autonomous driving powerhouse," but he serves a "ridiculously large automation market."
But this is just the origin story of @SamIsMoving. The real journey has just begun.
