NEO ignites the Bots track, what other projects in Robotics are worth following?

Norwegian humanoid robot company 1X Technologies released the NEO robot, priced at $20,000, which has increased the attention of the Robotics track, and a number of related projects are worth paying attention to. (Synopsis: The world's first housekeeping robot “Neo” is on sale, which can sweep the floor and make coffee, but still needs the help of remote humans? (Background added: Musk solicits robot Optimus trainer: robot soldiers will participate in the future to “shoot a hundred shots”) The day before yesterday, Norway's humanoid robot company 1X Technologies officially released the NEO robot and opened it for pre-order, priced at $20,000, and also supports a monthly subscription model ($499 per month), which is expected to begin delivery in 2026. Tesla also said that robots are the next major profit point. It seems quite likely that robots will be the next main line.

Such news is undoubtedly the focus of many people's attention. In the coin circle, the robot of the same name meme coin on Solana once exceeded the market value of $4 million $NEO and still maintains a market cap of $2.7 million. In addition, Echo, an on-chain financing platform created by Cobie, which was just acquired by Coinbase for $375 million, has a $10 million 1X Technologies Series C funding line. However, since it was conducted in the Private group, no specific details are known. In addition to the financing line of meme coin and Echo, robot-related projects in the cryptocurrency circle have also attracted attention, and many players call the track “Robotics”. This article will organize the projects related to the Robotics track. OpenMind On August 4, according to official sources, OpenMind, a Silicon Valley-based intelligent machine infrastructure company, announced the completion of a $20 million funding round, led by Pantera Capital, Ribbit, Sequoia China, Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Lightspeed Faction, Anagram, Pi Network Ventures, Topology, A number of institutions such as Primitive Ventures and Amber Group, as well as a number of well-known angel investors, participated in the investment. OpenMind develops open-source software to help robots think, learn and work. The native open-source AI robot operating system OM1 allows AI agents to be configured and deployed in both the digital and physical worlds. Users can create an AI character, run it in the cloud, or run it on a physical robot in the real world. In layman's terms, OpenMind is doing OM1, which is equivalent to making an “AI brain” for robots. This “AI brain” can be worked together by multiple AI agents, can interact with multiple LLMs, and can also get data from multiple sources to work (such as helping users post things on social media). Since OM1 is open source, it is also a highly adaptable robot operating system, just like the Android system of mobile phones, which has nothing to do with hardware. OpenMind also has an on-chain bot identity network called FABRIC, which aims to share a verifiable layer of trust for humans and bots. Humans can earn badges by sharing location data through maps, evaluating robot behavior, and development, while for robots, each robot loaded with an OM1 system joins the FABRIC network to have a unique verifiable identity and enable the robot's commands, operation logs, ownership, and other related behaviors to be tracked on-chain. OpenMind has not yet issued coins. XMAQUINA Robotics invests in the DAO. A total of 3 rounds of sales of its governance token $DEUS have been completed, raising a total of more than $5.5 million in crypto assets. The DAO has begun using the proceeds from the auction to support Apptronik, Figure AI and Agility Robotics, all of which are in the field of humanoid robotics. As you can see from the screenshot of the vault on the official website, the investment of DAO has begun to realize profits, and even the return rate of a single transaction has exceeded 100%. However, $DEUS does not currently have a TGE. TGE, 33% of $DEUS on social sales will be unlocked immediately, and the remaining 67% will be unlocked linearly over 12 months. Peaq On March 27, DePIN Layer1 Agreement Peaq closed a $15 million funding round, led by Generative Ventures and Borderless Capital, Spartan Group, HV Capital, CMCC Global, Animoca Brands, Moonrock Capital, Fundamental Labs, TRGC, DWF Labs, Crit Ventures, Cogitent Ventures, NGC Ventures, Agnostic Fund, Altana Wealth and others participated. Although the main narrative at the beginning is DePIN, the project is more sensitive to market sniffing, and the x402 project that exploded not long ago has also followed. On the robotics side, peaq released the Robotics SDK in September this year, enabling robots to obtain autonomous identities, make payments and collections, verify data, and access the network economy on the chain. In addition, peaq has a machine RWA marketplace that tokenizes machines on-chain as shared revenue-generating assets. PEAQ unveiled the first tokenized, robot-run farm on the main stage of Korea Blockchain Week 2025, which has been deployed on the PEAQ chain and will distribute operating profits to token holders. Currently, the $peaq has a circulating market capitalization of about $110 million. PrismaX On June 17, PrismaX announced the completion of a $11 million funding round from a16z CSX, Volt Capital, Blockchain Builders Fund, Stanford Blockchain Accelerator, and Virtuals. PrismaX is building an open coordination layer that connects remote operators, robot users, and robotics companies. The operator can connect with the user, remotely control the robot, complete the actual task, and at the same time …
