OpenMind wants to be the Android operating system of humanoid robots

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2026-01-12 15:00:00

Many companies are focused on building robots, or the hardware components to help them move, grip objects, or interact with the world around them. OpenMind is focused under the hood. The Silicon Valley-based startup is building a software layer, called OM1, for humanoid robots that acts as an operating system. The company compares itself to being the Android for robotics because its software is open and hardware agnostic. Stanford professor Jan Liphardt, the founder of OpenMind, told TechCrunc

Editor's take: As industry leaders dig ever deeper into their war chests to recruit AI talent, a profound question is emerging: Can money alone win the battle for the minds building tomorrow's most powerful technologies?

Samsung unveils the Odyssey G75F: a 37-inch 4K VA monitor priced around $1,000

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-01-12 20:46:00

What just happened? There are so many similarly specced monitors these days that we rarely see "world firsts" anymore. However, Samsung is claiming that title with yet another new Odyssey, which it says is the first-ever 37-inch 4K display. The Odyssey G7 G75F joins Samsung's increasingly long list of Odyssey monitors, but it's the first monitor ever to combine a 37-inch panel with a 4K (3840x2160) resolution, according to the company.

Baidu plans to expand its robotaxis to Europe with Lyft deal

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2026-01-12 20:00:07

Baidu will bring its driverless taxis to Europe next year via a partnership with U.S. ridehailing firm Lyft , as the Chinese tech giant looks to expand its autonomous vehicles globally. The robotaxis will initially be deployed in the U.K. and Germany from 2026 with the aim to have "thousands" of vehicles across Europe in the "following years," the two companies said.

More is less: I can’t make myself use Nothing’s Glyph Matrix

Nothing’s original Glyph Interface was the perfect level of gimmick — it added a bit of flair to the back of its first few phones, but always felt like it had a purpose. I trusted it for everything from following the charge of my battery to watching for an incoming phone call, and it was one cool thing I could always show off to my iPhone-toting friends.

Galaxy S26 Ultra charging time leak leaves us with more questions than answers

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra can reach 75 to 80% capacity after 30 minutes of 60W charging. That isn’t really an upgrade over the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s charging time. It’s still possible that the S26 Ultra could beat the S25 Ultra when it comes to total charging time. Leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get 60W wired charging speeds. This would be a significant leap from 45W seen on previous Galaxy S Ultra handsets. What does
