It has been ten years since a phenomenon that revolutionized the streets and phones of thousands of people around the world. The Pokémon Go app, an augmented reality game in which players have to go outside and search for creatures with their mobile camera, became a huge success. But the mobile cameras of users have served the game's creator, the company Niantic, to achieve a more ambitious goal. It has used the photos, without players knowing, to create a three-dimensional map of the world that autonomous robots will now use to move through the streets, especially when delivering packages and orders.

The American company Scopely, one of the world's leading video game developers and with a Catalan soul - it bought the Barcelona-based Omnidrone in 2022 and is based in Barcelona - has completed, after weeks of negotiations, the purchase of Niantic's gaming business for 3.5 billion dollars (about 3). Niantic is known for being the software company behind the famous video game Pokémon GO, one of the most successful mobile games in the world.
