OpenMind teams up with Robostore to launch the first comprehensive humanoid robot education program

Robot software company OpenMind, in collaboration with Robostore, the largest distributor in the U.S., today announced the launch of the world's first comprehensive humanoid robot education program.

With the widespread application of the Unitree G1 in campuses and laboratories, institutions need to go beyond the standardized academic paths of literature and simulations. This new course is designed to meet that need: it employs a modular, video-based system covering areas such as movement, perception, coordination, and interaction, based on OpenMind's OM1 operating system, enabling learners to program, test, and deploy humanoid robots in physical environments.

"The pace of development in humanoid robotics has outstripped the accompanying educational support," said OpenMind CEO and Stanford University professor Jan Liphardt. "We built this course to allow every lab and student to experiment with embodied intelligence using real hardware, rather than just writing code in a simulator."

Robostore CEO Teddy Hagerty added, "This collaboration brings together world-class hardware and a complete educational foundation. With OM1 and Unitree G1, higher education institutions will embark on a new paradigm of embodied intelligence learning."

Robostore has already supported over 100 top institutions, including Harvard University, MIT, and Stanford University, indicating a growing demand from technical schools and research institutions. The course will be available this month through Robostore and its partnered academic institutions and research laboratories.
