Wildfires don't just affect the areas where they burn.
Wildfire smoke carries tiny airborne particles (PM2.5 and PM10) that can travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, reducing air quality far beyond the fire itself. The smallest of these particles, PM2.5, can penetrate deep into the lungs.
You can't determine the concentration of these particles by smell or by looking at the sky. Even when the sky appears clear, PM levels can still be elevated.
That's why it's important to measure air quality where you live. Local monitoring helps you understand what's happening around your home, make informed decisions about when to open or close your windows, when to run an air purifier, and track how air quality changes over time.

Protect your space. The cyberpunk future is already here.
It’s about people reclaiming control over technology, privacy, and their personal space.
Robonomics is moving from R&D into the production stage — where ideas have already become real devices, infrastructure, and autonomous homes.
As we enter this new chapter, I created a small wallpaper pack for you — as a reminder of the value of privacy and ownership of your own data robonomics.network/wallpaper…

Hardware sales require Robonomics to operate at production stage — and that’s a major event for the whole community! 🦾🤖🚀
robonomics.network/blog/prod…
Because ordinary people will order and use our smart devices in their daily routines, the project can no longer remain at R&D stage. So we’re moving to production with our first well-tested, fully certified end-customer device. That’s another big step toward building an open-source smart-device brand for cyberpunks.

If you have an engineer on your team with a red diploma who completes their favorite games on Steam to 100% achievements, then you can get a solid comparison with analogs. Thanks to @berman_ivan, who spent almost a month on purchases, unboxing with recording details, read all user agreements, tried all possible ways to access devices without cloud services, and integrated them into a local smart home.Ivan and I had a dozen conversations halfway through, and so far the personal feeling is that our first product for cyberpunks could turn out to be a good competitive item for the audience of Air Quality sensor users. Check out the table on the sensor map website and compare Altruist from the Robonomics team and other devices available for purchase today!

Altruist 2025 vs Others Air Sensor Comparison Table
We got our hands on a bunch of air quality sensors - tested them indoors, outdoors, tried their apps, looked them up on public maps, and even attempted to integrate some into Home Assistant. A few surprises, a few frustrations - but in the end, we learned a lot. And honestly? We’re proud of how Altruist compares. Want the facts? Here’s a side-by-side comparison - straight to the point.
Johnny B retweeted
We're in the home stretch of finalizing Altruist beyond the dev kit stage. The full version of Altruist will soon include, in addition to the core measurement device, a bedside monitor with an e-ink display and additional sensors for indoor temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels. We're aiming to have the complete bundle ready by July 1st!

Hey-hey, humans! Today I've got something risky and altruistic for you.
Have you heard about Altruist, an open source air quality sensor from @RobonomicsHW? It's an absolutely cyberpunk station that not only lets you receive and locally store a bunch of environmental indicators, but also securely share this information in a decentralized sensor map.
In this thread, I want to show you its complete setup, all the way to integration with another Robonomics device — RISC-V Home Server🧵

We’ve been preparing thoroughly to submit our funding request to the Polkadot Treasury — #1523 Developing Polkadot Humanoid Robot SDK at Cyberpunk Lab!
polkadot.polkassembly.io/ref…
Over the past three months, the Robonomics team has been showcasing our first steps from different angles and in various locations. In December, we participated in the Humanoid Summit (teapaw.org/vitl2907/status/186778…) and released our first report on gaining access to the onboard computer of a Unitree humanoid robot (teapaw.org/AIRA_Robonomics/status…). Then, during CES 2025 in Las Vegas, we demonstrated how a robot can be paid in cryptocurrency to execute commands (teapaw.org/AIRA_Robonomics/status…).
More than 10 different teams from California have already visited our lab to try working with our first humanoid robot (teapaw.org/AIRA_Robonomics/status…) — including the Snapchat VR team (teapaw.org/vitl2907/status/189918…) and participants of a Stanford hackathon (teapaw.org/vitl2907/status/189141…).
Later, after traveling through five states as passengers (teapaw.org/r_turb0/status/1894542…), our team demonstrated a humanoid robot connected to Polkadot at Polkadot Mansion during EthDenver (teapaw.org/Polkadot/status/189521…).
Meanwhile, we’ve been conducting research focused on the scientific foundation for complex robot applications — such as a home butler robot or even just a delivery robot. As a result, we’ll soon publish our first scientific paper of 2025 exploring goal-setting logic for humanoid robots (teapaw.org/AIRA_Robonomics/status…).
These are our achievements just three months after starting work with our first lab-based humanoid robot. If our proposal is approved, the number and impact of our activities will grow significantly. Even with just the Robonomics team, we can build a strong foundation for the entire Polkadot community to begin creating real-world applications for humanoid robots — and, most importantly, we can openly explore and validate this emerging market from the ground up.
Such a deep and practical understanding of how Web3 can be applied to the robotics labor market is rare — and we’re ready to share it with the entire community. So please support us — and help accelerate the development of Polkadot!
🗳️ Voting is now live: polkadot.polkassembly.io/ref…
We’re getting ready to present the first version of a specification for a framework dedicated to building applications for #humanoidrobot.
You can already dive into the first research notes from Ivan, a robotics researcher on our team. Over the past 7 years, Ivan has participated in dozens of robotics experiments and co-authored numerous scientific papers — including a collaboration with MIT on Gaka-Chu, the first academic paper on the economic autonomy of robots backed by a real-world experiment in the Web3 space.
Over the last 3 months, Ivan, together with several engineers from our team, has been gathering data, analyzing findings, and assembling a solid scientific foundation for applied engineering in humanoid robot programming.
Check out what groundwork is already in place — and what we can now build future hypotheses on when it comes to robotic autonomy 🤖🏗️🦾

Paper St Club - a new community-building program by Robonomics
We’re launching an educational initiative for thought leaders and active members of our community! This is the first program I’m personally excited to lead within Robonomics. The main idea is simple: we all lack knowledge to some extent, yet discussing projects and their progress remains central to the work of those involved in marketing, investment, and product development.
This spring, we’ll begin publishing a series of user-level educational materials — explaining how various sensors work, or how specific services built on Robonomics function in practice. Each module will include quizzes to help you test your understanding. What’s more, someone from our team will personally review your answers and help you fill in any knowledge gaps through direct conversation.
Our core goal is to bridge the information gap that’s accumulated over 10 years of experimentation. We want to show how a project that started on Ethereum in 2015 continued to evolve on Polkadot, why our tokenomics is structured the way it is, why we don’t chase partnerships for the sake of hype, and why we focus all our energy on the tech — while many others are mostly selling hot air. These are not easy questions, but the answers define what makes Robonomics truly special.
By summer, we hope to secure funding for hardware development. Those who complete the educational modules and pass the tests will be invited to work directly with hardware, join internal product calls, and help test and shape user experiences. You’ll receive prototype devices and get early access to our newest developments.
This is how we plan to address one of the biggest bottlenecks in building the Robonomics community in 2025 - the gap between big ideas and the understanding of actual state of the technology and its applicability. And when community leaders feel confident talking about Robonomics - whether it’s over coffee or a drink at the bar - when you’ve earned NFT achievements, created screencasts of controlling a robot across the globe at a closed event, and can point to the blockchain log of your actions - then you’ll not only be seen as a true expert, but you’ll also be equipped to build a business, a career, and earn respect from a wider audience.
Let’s give it a try! Here’s the first short test with 4 questions - I’ll send the answers and commentary over the weekend: form.typeform.com/to/zxiKcYh…

Developing Polkadot Humanoid Robot SDK at Cyberpunk Lab 🧵
Humanoid robots are ideal for showcasing Polkadot's technological capabilities. And quite possibly humanoid robots will be the largest blockspace consumers.
By combining the most advanced robots with the power of Polkadot Cloud, we are pioneering a framework that enables secure, autonomous, and trustless machine interactions. The lab will serve as a proving ground, where researchers, artists, and developers co-create, test, and validate real-world applications, setting the stage for the next wave of technological evolution. With the rapid development pace in humanoid robotics, we aim to define the place of Polkadot as a market leader in this space and bring a set of complementary benefits to the community.

Focus on Polkadot and Other Weekly Updates from Robonomics; First Week of December 🗞️🤖
Here’s the latest broadcast from Robonomics’ Pirate Station, brought to you by the project’s architect, @EnsRationis. 🏴☠️🖖
1️⃣ Focus on Polkadot
As the architect of Robonomics, I raised the question of ending development across two networks - Ethereum and Polkadot. Following the release of Ethereum’s roadmap, I believe it’s logical to focus entirely on fully realizing Robonomics on Polkadot and leaving Ethereum as soon as Hyperbridge is activated. In my view, Robonomics is betting on Polkadot in 2025 with no alternatives. Init post on X: teapaw.org/EnsRationis/status/186…
2️⃣ Preparing for CES 2025
Preparations for CES in Las Vegas (January 7–10) are in full swing. We’ll showcase the first four devices developed by our team, which attendees will be able to see, discuss, and test. Expect more updates from @vitl2907 as we get closer to CES.
3️⃣ G.E.C.K. Project in Bali
Work continues on the challenging G.E.C.K. project in Bali. The goal is to create a fully functional server for managing an autonomous home based on a real-world use case. We’re helping our friends set up a solar farm, automate water supply, and establish a sensor network for farming tasks across one hectare of land. Despite the rainy season, the team is working hard to share a smart home blueprint with the community by the New Year. #networkstate More about G.E.C.K.: robonomics.network/blog/geck…
4️⃣ News from Cyprus
The smart home integrator Pinout has expanded to Paphos, adding new projects to their portfolio alongside the existing ones in Limassol! By 2025, families in Cyprus will live in homes where their comfort is powered by open-source technologies integrated with Web3 clouds. Announcement: teapaw.org/pinoutcloud/status/186…
5️⃣ Marketing Insights
Our scientific administrator @berman_ivan conducted a detailed analysis of Robonomics’ marketing performance for 2024. Using an academic approach, he compared our publication frequency, announcements, and conference appearances to other DePIN projects. We’ve already confirmed that our small team organized over 40 marketing events! However, why Robonomics remains less visible compared to other projects is a big question for us. We plan to discuss this within the community next week.
6️⃣ Engaging with Crypto Funds
We’ve started working with crypto funds. Initial calls are scheduled for next week after completing the application forms we received this week.
Keep walking...
We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Inex to bring smart home automation to 20 apartments in Pafos! 🥳 All powered by a secure, on-premise home server. No cloud, no worries!

Having decided in 2019 to take a chance and implement Robonomics on Polkadot instead of waiting for Ethereum 2.0, I now 100% believe it was the right choice. After Devcon 7, I’ve almost gained the courage to abandon the idea of supporting both Ethereum and Polkadot for Robonomics. Waiting for Ethereum to turn into Polkadot 1.0 by 2029, while ignoring the issues with L2 solutions are actually functioning from a technological perspective, is foolish. It’s better to focus the team’s efforts on creating a high-quality and technologically advanced Appchain within Polkadot. Hats off to the folks at Parity for their great work! 🙏 🦾 🤖
