The Problem

The era of autonomous everything is approaching - drones, humanoids, self-driving vehicles. But today's maps were built for humans, not robots.

Robots don't need:

  • Street names or turn-by-turn navigation

  • Static, siloed map data updated quarterly

Robots need:

  • Door locations, sidewalk widths, curb heights

  • Real-time updates on construction, traffic cones, crowds

  • Constantly evolving spatial intelligence

The Solution

Cilium leverages the gig economy to transform everyday footage into a real-time, high-resolution spatial intelligence layer. Everyone drives multiple times a day - why not get paid for mapping the world around you?

Key Features:

  • Real-time motion graph - constantly evolving with every vehicle

  • Open infrastructure - not siloed like legacy mapping systems

  • Crowdsourced intelligence - drivers earn while contributing spatial data

  • Built for autonomy - designed for robots and vehicles, not human navigation

Where legacy maps are static, Cilium is alive - learning and adapting with every frame captured.

Philosophy: Ruthless Pragmatism

The Cilium team embodies the Mafia doctrine of unlearning - willing to let go of existing best practices and venture into uncharted territory. Building for a frontier that doesn't quite exist yet, with the conviction that perception itself will become infrastructure.

"In a world of autonomous sensory blindness, Cilium lights the path forward. Where vision itself learns to move."
