OpenMind & FABRIC: The Android for Robots Is Here
A New Era of Machine Collaboration
OpenMind is building the foundational infrastructure for intelligent machines to think, learn, and work together. Founded by Stanford professor Jan Liphardt, the company is pioneering a modular, AI-native software stack that’s hardware-agnostic and open-source.
Their vision? To create a world where robots—from bots to humanoids—can form trusted networks, share intelligence, and evolve autonomously.
At the heart of this revolution are two core technologies:
- OM1: An open operating system for intelligent machines
- FABRIC: A decentralized protocol for identity, trust, and coordination
OM1 — The Universal Robot Brain
OM1 is designed to be the Android for robots—a shared autonomy layer that abstracts away hardware limitations and enables real-time intelligence. It integrates:
- Large Language Models (LLMs) for natural interaction
- Specialized vision and perception modules
- Agentic workflows for autonomous decision-making
- Context memory for adaptive behavior
With OM1, robots can interpret human language, understand their environment, and collaborate across diverse platforms—from robotic dogs to humanoid assistants.
FABRIC — The Trust Layer for Machines
FABRIC is the decentralized protocol that links machines into secure, verifiable networks. It enables robots to:
- Prove identity and physical location
- Share data and skills with built-in rules for access and provenance
- Coordinate autonomously like a peer-to-peer GPS, VPN, and handshake layer
This creates a shared intelligence network where machines learn from each other, earn rewards, and evolve together—without centralized control.

Why It Matters
OpenMind is backed by $20M in funding from Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Ribbit, Pebblebed, and Pi Network Ventures. Their first fleet of OM1-powered robotic dogs launches in September 2025, with broader applications in smart manufacturing, elder care, and autonomous transport.
By joining now, you’re not just watching the future unfold—you’re helping build it.
