OpenMind and Circle have officially announced a strategic partnership to jointly launch the world's first payment infrastructure specifically designed for autonomous intelligent agents and real-world embodied AI. By deeply integrating Circle's USDC stablecoin with OpenMind's x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI entities to achieve direct and autonomous payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.Based on the collaboration between OpenMind and Circle, the FABRIC Foundation will accelerate the implementation and large-scale deployment from two main directions: Robot Birthplace and Acceleration of Adoption.The payment infrastructure provided by OpenMind + Circle offers machines an "economic brain," while the FABRIC Foundation is responsible for the entire closed-loop chain of "birth, production, operation, and evolution." The synergy among these three will jointly give rise to a true machine economy era—where robots are no longer mere tools, but independent economic entities with autonomous perception, decision-making, action, and payment capabilities. In the coming months, more real-world deployment cases (such as automatic charging stations) are worth continuous attention.

The robotic head project OpenMind is about to launch on the App Store, marking the first cross-ontology robotic application store based on the open-source operating system OM1. Developers can centrally publish applications and skills here, and robot owners can easily deploy new features for their robots.The first application went live last week, with the initial batch focusing on education, healthcare, elderly companionship, and home security. Current partners include UBTECH, Zhiyuan Robotics, Fourier, Yundongchu, Zhujidongli, Yuejiang, Booster, Magic Atom, and others.Additionally, the OpenMind foundation Fabric Foundation will conduct a token sale on the Kaito platform on January 26, with priority allocation for the Fabric community and specific partner communities. This round was oversubscribed within five hours of opening.

The smart machine infrastructure company OpenMind has announced the establishment of the Fabric Foundation, with OpenMind as its partner. The foundation will operate as an independent non-profit organization dedicated to building governance, economic, and coordination infrastructure that enables humans and intelligent machines to collaborate safely and efficiently. The foundation's work includes: supporting key research, building public goods infrastructure, convening global stakeholders, expanding global access and participation, enhancing public understanding, and ensuring long-term management.OpenMind was founded by Stanford University professor Jan Liphardt and is committed to building a universal operating system for intelligent machines and a decentralized collaboration network, with its core products including the OM1 operating system and the FABRIC collaboration protocol.

OpenMind and Circle announced a strategic partnership to jointly launch the world's first payment infrastructure aimed at autonomous intelligent agents and real-world embodied AI. By integrating the USDC stablecoin and OpenMind's x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI agents to make direct payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.Circle officially released a demonstration video on the X platform this week: robots can self-recharge without changing batteries and complete the entire payment process using USDC.The OpenMind team stated that this feature will be piloted in Silicon Valley, and in the future, it will provide a universal, convenient, and general on-chain payment solution for the widespread deployment of embodied intelligence, helping intelligent agents achieve long endurance and automated operation, gradually integrating into human daily life.

OpenMind has reached a strategic partnership with Circle to jointly build a payment infrastructure for real-world embodied AI transactions. By integrating OpenMind's robotic systems with Circle's USDC stablecoin and the x402 payment protocol, this collaboration aims to enable AI entities to autonomously pay for energy, services, and data costs in the physical world.In the future, robots, which are gradually becoming independent economic entities, will primarily participate in three types of markets: task markets (such as delivery and inspection), information markets (selling environmental data), and resource markets (paying for charging, storage, and other geographically bound resources). USDC serves as the value carrier, x402 provides the payment channel, and the OpenMind system autonomously decides the payment process.Both parties view this system as a foundational component of the future robot economy and plan to showcase practical application cases such as automatic robot charging and offline consumption within a few months, continuously exploring the innovative integration of embodied AI and payment infrastructure.

Robot software company OpenMind, in collaboration with Robostore, the largest distributor in the U.S., today announced the launch of the world's first comprehensive humanoid robot education program.With the widespread application of the Unitree G1 in campuses and laboratories, institutions need to go beyond the standardized academic paths of literature and simulations. This new course is designed to meet that need: it employs a modular, video-based system covering areas such as movement, perception, coordination, and interaction, based on OpenMind's OM1 operating system, enabling learners to program, test, and deploy humanoid robots in physical environments."The pace of development in humanoid robotics has outstripped the accompanying educational support," said OpenMind CEO and Stanford University professor Jan Liphardt. "We built this course to allow every lab and student to experiment with embodied intelligence using real hardware, rather than just writing code in a simulator."Robostore CEO Teddy Hagerty added, "This collaboration brings together world-class hardware and a complete educational foundation. With OM1 and Unitree G1, higher education institutions will embark on a new paradigm of embodied intelligence learning."Robostore has already supported over 100 top institutions, including Harvard University, MIT, and Stanford University, indicating a growing demand from technical schools and research institutions. The course will be available this month through Robostore and its partnered academic institutions and research laboratories.
