We did a comparison study on where a robot's intelligence should live by using the same model (@OpenAI GPT6-Astra), same bimanual YAM station, same LEGO pick-and-place task, all run on @se3labs' real-world remote eval stack: 1. Frozen code-as-policy (built on @nvidia ENPIRE components): 6/20 placements 2. Agentic control + Astra in the loop: 18/20 placements

We built auto self-charging so robots can run autonomous tasks all day with no humans in the loop. This weekend, we had a Unitree Go2 doing security patrols. When the battery runs low, it returns and docks itself. This is the level of reliability real-world robotics needs.

Everywhere you turned at #NVIDIAGTC, physical AI was in the mix. 🦾 From robots and autonomous vehicles to industrial AI, it was incredible to see it all in one place, alongside an amazing community of developers. See you at the next GTC. 🤗

OpenMind had 8 robots on the open sidewalks at GTC. They autonomously navigated crowded spaces and verbally interacted with people.

We finally did the thing 👀 Migrated our backend from Python → Go and crushed our tail latency. p99 is now ~300ms ⚡️ Less waiting, more predictability, happier systems (and humans). Sometimes performance really is a language feature. @openmind_agi

AI and blockchain. Machines and @USDC. Looking forward to exploring more with @openmind_agi.

Training fully autonomous robots takes more data than the real world can easily provide. Simulation lets us train, test, and deploy autonomous software without being limited by robots, space, or cost. Here’s OM1 running in simulation side-by-side to the real world.

It’s fully open-source, so please give it a try! Enjoy! github.com/OpenMind/unitree-…
Our CTO @boyuan is demoing our new localization algorithm, which surpasses leading industry solutions. Localization enables a robot to determine its position in an environment, which is essential for navigation. While most systems require robots to start from a predefined location, ours doesn’t. It lets robots boot up anywhere and immediately locate themselves, making deployment far more flexible for real world scenarios.

The world’s first humanoid curriculum is here. Built on OM1 and the @UnitreeRobotics G1, we’re partnering with Robostore—the largest U.S. distributor of humanoids—to bring full-scale, hands-on robotics education to universities worldwide. Real robots. Real world. Real learning.

Stand by! We are cooking something big. 🧑‍🍳
OpenMind was recently featured across news channels in Korea. Founder, @JanLiphardt talks about how robots can already do very important tasks in schools, hospitals, homes, and manufacturing. The goal is to deploy our technology quickly to learn about what people really want.

We’re launching the OpenMind FABRIC Identity Network and the Badge Collection on @base, bringing both humans and robots onto a shared, verifiable trust layer. Over 180,000 humans and thousands of robots have already contributed to this layer by mapping, testing, and building through our OpenMind APP and OM1 developer portal. This marks the beginning of onchain coordination between people and thinking machines.

Autonomous robots need to protect your privacy in homes, schools, and workplaces. Our privacy layer automatically blurs faces and sensitive info at the base level, so even we can’t access it. Here’s Wendy, our AI engineer, demoing it in action.

Why do robots need blockchain technology? Robots need identity, payments, and governance to operate in a trustless and verifiable manner. @JanLiphardt alongside @PanteraCapital and @saharaai discuss this inevitable future.
