Openmind

OpenMind is building the world's first open-source operating system for intelligent robots, enabling any robot to perceive, reason, and act in the real world. Their OM1 platform is hardware-agnostic and works across quadrupeds, humanoids, wheeled robots, and drones with plug-and-play support for OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, and xAI. Founded in 2024 by Stanford professor Jan Liphardt, who has spent his career at the intersection of AI, biology, and decentralized systems, OpenMind raised $20 million to scale engineering and global partnerships. OM1 features real-time SLAM, lidar support, Nav2 path planning, and natural communication through speech-to-text and text-to-speech. The FABRIC decentralized coordination layer enables machines to verify identity and collaborate securely across environments. Just as Android transformed smartphones, OpenMind aims to transform robotics through an open platform.
