The smart machine infrastructure company OpenMind has completed a $20 million financing round, led by Pantera Capital

ChainCatcher news, according to TechCrunch, Silicon Valley-based smart machine infrastructure company OpenMind announced the completion of a $20 million funding round, led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Ribbit, Sequoia China, Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Lightspeed Faction, Anagram, Pi Network Ventures, Topology, Primitive Ventures, and Amber Group, among other institutions and well-known angel investors.

OpenMind was founded by Stanford University professor Jan Liphardt and is dedicated to building a universal operating system for smart machines and a decentralized collaboration network, allowing different manufacturers and types of robots to safely trust each other, share information, and work together globally. Its core products include the OM1 operating system and the FABRIC collaboration protocol: the former enables various robots to have perception, adaptation, and action capabilities, while the latter provides cross-platform identity verification and secure collaboration. The combination of the two creates an open and secure "nervous system" for robots worldwide.

This round of funding will be used to expand the engineering team and collaborate with more manufacturers to apply OM1 and FABRIC in scenarios such as autonomous driving, smart manufacturing, and elderly care. Pantera Capital stated that OpenMind is building an open intelligent network for the robotics industry, with potential significance comparable to Linux for open-source software and Ethereum for decentralized applications.
