OpenMind, a company unlocking “machine agency” at scale, in partnership with Robostore, the biggest US distributor of Unitree humanoids, has launched the world’s first full-scale university curriculum for humanoid robots.
Built on OpenMind’s OM1 platform and designed for the Unitree G1 humanoid, the program gives students, researchers, and educators a complete path to mastering hands-on humanoid robotics.
As adoption of the Unitree G1 accelerates on campuses and in labs, institutions need a standardized academic path that goes beyond papers and simulation.
This new curriculum delivers exactly that: a modular, video‑based system covering motion, perception, coordination, and interaction – grounded in OM1’s real‑world robotics stack – so learners can program, test, and deploy humanoids in physical environments.
Stanford professor Jan Liphardt, CEO of OpenMind, says: “Humanoid robotics has moved faster than the education supporting it. We built this curriculum so every lab and student can experiment with embodied intelligence using real hardware – not just code in a simulator.”
Added Teddy Haggerty, CEO of Robostore, says: “This collaboration brings together world‑class hardware and a complete educational foundation. With OM1 and the Unitree G1, universities finally have a turnkey path to teach the future of humanoid robotics.”
The critical gap in robotics education
A growing demand across technical schools and research institutes is evidenced by the fact that Robostore already supports more than 100 leading institutions including Harvard, MIT, and Stanford.
With projections pointing to more than one billion humanoids by 2050, universities need applied learning at scale.
This curriculum meets that need by aligning hardware, software, and instruction – enabling faculty to launch high‑impact courses and labs in weeks, not semesters.
Availability
The curriculum will be available through Robostore and in partnership with academic institutions and research labs beginning later this month. Interested programs can contact OpenMind or Robostore directly to discuss integration and deployment.
