OpenMind is focused on creating OM1, a software operating system for humanoid robots, likened to Android in its open and hardware-agnostic nature. Stanford professor Jan Liphardt emphasizes the need for a new operating system for humanoids, particularly as they engage more in human-to-machine interactions in daily life. OpenMind introduced a protocol called FABRIC, which facilitates robot identity verification and information sharing. Liphardt notes the rapid learning capabilities of machines and provides examples of how robots can share language data to improve human interaction, reflecting on human communication infrastructure.
OpenMind is building a software layer, OM1, for humanoid robots that acts as an operating system. The company compares itself to being the Android for robotics because its software is open and hardware agnostic.
All of a sudden, this world is opening where machines are able to interact with humans in ways I've certainly never before seen," Liphardt said. "We're very much believers here that it's not just about the humans, but we really think of ourselves as a company that is a collaboration between machines and humans.
Unlike humans, machines can learn almost instantly, Liphardt said, which means giving them a better way to connect to other robots will allow them to more easily train and absorb new information.
Humans take it for granted that they can interact with any other human on Earth," Liphardt said. "Humans have built a lot of infrastructure around us that allows us to trust other people, call them, text them and interact and coordinate and do things together.
