OpenMind OM1 (OS for robots)

2025: Product Announcement

The American technology startup OpenMind introduced the OM1 operating system - the world's first open source software platform for humanoid and servicing robots, which ensures the interaction of various robotic devices regardless of manufacturer or hardware features. The system integrates artificial intelligence, perception models, memory and natural language communication tools, positioned as an analogue of Android for mobile devices, but specially adapted for the robotic industry. This was announced by the company on August 4, 2025.

According to TechCrunch, the new operating system solves the problem of isolation of modern robots that are not able to effectively interact with each other. OpenMind's founder and CEO, Stanford University Professor Ian Liphardt, noted the limitations of existing robotic systems in complex human interactions.

OM1 is a new generation operating system created specifically to overcome technical barriers between various robotic platforms. Open architecture allows developers to create applications and services that are compatible with a wide range of robotic devices from various manufacturers.

The company also introduced FABRIC, a decentralized network that gives robots the ability to authenticate each other, coordinate tasks and share knowledge in real time. The technology allows robots to transfer skills instantly, including learning new languages or mastering complex operations.

Liphardt explained the practical application of the developed protocol on the example of the interaction of a courier robot with an autonomous car. The system provides independent coordination between devices for performing product delivery tasks without the participation of a human operator.^[1]
