Pokemon Go’s 30 Billion Photos Have Mapped The World For Robots A report from MIT Technology Review has detailed the relationship between Niantic and Coco Robotics, the company responsible for the fleet of autonomous delivery robots that now know exactly where they’re going thanks to Pokemon Go. I mean exactly, too, as the Go mapping is apparently preferential to regular old GPS, as due to players having taken more than 30 billion photos during Pokemon Go’s first ten years, the robots can get to where they need to be with incredible accuracy. submitted by /u/planet_janett
