OpenMind and Circle jointly released a product update, enabling robot self-charging USDC payments to support the embodied intelligence economy

OpenMind and Circle announced a strategic partnership to jointly launch the world's first payment infrastructure aimed at autonomous intelligent agents and real-world embodied AI. By integrating the USDC stablecoin and OpenMind's x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI agents to make direct payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.

Circle officially released a demonstration video on the X platform this week: robots can self-recharge without changing batteries and complete the entire payment process using USDC.

The OpenMind team stated that this feature will be piloted in Silicon Valley, and in the future, it will provide a universal, convenient, and general on-chain payment solution for the widespread deployment of embodied intelligence, helping intelligent agents achieve long endurance and automated operation, gradually integrating into human daily life.
