what's openmind?
OpenMind is developing OM1, an AI-native modular operating system designed specifically for robots, enabling them to perform complex tasks through no-code setups, one-click applications, and seamless integration across different manufacturers. This OS powers robots from leading companies like Unitree Robotics, DeepRobotics, and UBTECH Robotics, facilitating real-world applications in areas such as mapping, behavior evaluation, and autonomous operations. By providing a standardized platform, OpenMind aims to accelerate the deployment of intelligent machines in everyday environments. To address trust and coordination challenges in robotics, OpenMind integrates blockchain technology for verifiable identities, payments, and governance. Through the FABRIC Identity Network on the Base blockchain, both humans and robots can establish on-chain identities, track actions like command logs and ownership, and participate in a shared trust layer. This includes zero-knowledge auditing with partners like Succinct Labs to prove compliance without revealing private data, and collaborations with protocols like Symbiotic for staking and enforcement mechanisms. OpenMind fosters a collaborative ecosystem via initiatives like the OpenMind Developer League, offering credits to contributors building on OM1, and events such as the Open Robotics AI Forum. Backed by prominent investors including Pantera Capital and Ribbit Capital, the project envisions a machine economy where robots demand efficiency through decentralized infrastructure, paving the way for billions of humanoids as predicted in industry forecasts.
