OpenMind wants to be the Android operating system of humanoid robots

OpenMind is developing OM1, an operating system for humanoid robots that functions like Android—open and compatible with various hardware. Stanford professor Jan Liphardt founded the company to create software that enables robots to think more like humans and better interact with people. The company recently unveiled FABRIC, a protocol allowing robots to verify identities and share information, and raised $20 million in funding to deploy its first fleet of robotic dogs by September.
