Virtuals Protocol recently gained more attention due to the explosive popularity of the x402 protocol. Last Saturday, the price of Virtuals surged by 35% in a single day. Although it gave back much of its gains in the following two days due to the overall market conditions, this "AI Agent Home" on the platform is still worth paying attention to.

Another hot topic recently is the robotics field, and Virtuals has been paying close attention to this area, announcing the launch of "Virtuals Robotics" on October 21st. So, what are Virtuals's activities? And what robotics-related projects are within its ecosystem?

SeeSaw

On October 23, Virtuals launched SeeSaw, a robot training data sharing application developed in partnership with BitRobot Network. The iOS version is now available.

In SeeSaw, users film themselves doing everyday activities and upload them to complete tasks and earn rewards. This video data, collected from users worldwide and including everyday actions such as tying shoelaces and folding clothes, will be used to train the robot.

Meanwhile, SeeSaw was also launched as the fifth subnet of the BitRobot Network.

SeeSaw has not yet issued its own token.

BitRobot

As mentioned above, Virtuals' own SeeSaw was launched as the fifth subnet of BitRobot Network, and Virtuals also participated in BitRobot's $6 million seed round of funding.

Developed jointly by FrodoBots Labs and Protocol Labs, the BitRobot Network aims to enable distributed robot work and collaboration. Its key components include: Verifiable Robot Work (VRW, a quantifiable metric for network rewards) for defining and validating robot tasks; Device Node Tokens (ENT, unique identifiers for robots within the system, existing as NFTs) for device ownership and network access; and subnets (resource clusters that create value for the BitRobot Network) serving as the task execution layer.

Currently, BitRobot has not issued its own cryptocurrency. It's worth noting that FrodoBots Lab is already selling robots; Earth Rovers, resembling a real-life Mario Kart, costs $249. Players remotely control their sidewalk robots in a global treasure hunt game, with data used by researchers to deploy and test their latest AI navigation models. There's a possibility that BitRobot might also issue its own cryptocurrency.

Another gaming robot, ET Fugi, will also be launched in the future, allowing players to remotely control a robotic arm to complete various 3D puzzle games and competitions. ET Fugi is also BitRobot's first subnet.

PrismaX

On June 17, PrismaX announced the completion of an $11 million funding round, with investors including a16z CSX, Volt Capital, Blockchain Builders Fund, Stanford Blockchain Accelerator, and Virtuals.

PrismaX is building an open coordination layer that connects remote operators, robot users, and robot companies. Operators can connect with users to remotely control robots, perform practical tasks, and collect valuable data. They can also request practical services such as logistics and advertising.

PrismaX features a protocol for remotely operating bots, allowing businesses to find experienced bot operators capable of handling complex tasks. Operators can choose to stake network tokens to increase their trust level and improve their chances of receiving high-yield tasks. Stakers' rewards are tied not only to the amount they stake but also to the quality of their work, with additional rewards awarded for improved efficiency.

The data accumulated from remote operations will then be used to train the robot to improve its autonomy, which will in turn improve the work efficiency of the remote operator and ultimately achieve a high degree or even complete autonomy for the robot.

PrismaX has not yet issued its own token.

SAM

When introducing BitRobot Network earlier, we mentioned FrodoBots Lab, and SAM is the first on-chain AI agent launched by FrodoBots Lab on Virtuals to control real-world robots.

SAM controls humanoid robots around the world 24/7, operating them to explore and share updates on X. In March of this year, it launched the AI robot agent Launchpad Robots.fun, where $SAM earns 5% of the token supply for each new robot agent on the platform, plus 0.5% of the platform's transaction fees.

Currently, SAM's market capitalization is approximately $11.4 million.

RoboStack

RoboStack is a cloud-based robot development and deployment platform that provides developers with a simulation environment and sandbox testing. The official description states that the platform can simulate real-world environments in the cloud, featuring a secure sandbox mechanism, high-performance computing capabilities, real-time metrics, and team collaboration features.

To address the challenges of integrating and training robotics technologies that are fragmented across different hardware, middleware, and communication standards, RoboStack proposes the Robot Context Protocol (RCP). This protocol allows secure communication between robots, AI agents, and humans. The simulated environment will include tokenized voting and incentive mechanisms to foster competition among developers and enthusiasts, facilitating the deployment of real-world robotic applications in future multi-chain environments.

Currently, the market capitalization of the token $ROBOT is approximately $3 million.

SHOW ROBOTICS

Show Robotics is dedicated to creating expressive robots and AI characters for public use. Simply put, Show Robotics doesn't build robots for mass production in the commercial sense; instead, it uses AI to cultivate robot personalities, combining virtual personalities with real robotic bodies—a venture in the "entertainment" sector.

This might remind you of $SPARK, and it is indeed somewhat similar. On Vita X, the robot created by Show Robotics, they took Vita on a beach trip and chatted with Vita like a friend.

Currently, $SHOW has a market capitalization of approximately $1.85 million.
