- Virtuals and OpenMind unite AI agents with real robots through a unified coordination layer.
- The partnership enables autonomous robot tasks powered by software agents and blockchain payments.
The collaboration between Virtuals Protocol and OpenMind is now entering a new phase as they begin to integrate AI agents with physical robots through a single, integrated payment and coordination system. This collaboration aims to enable robots to carry out agent instructions directly, without the lengthy processes of traditional methods.
Furthermore, all robot activities can be processed through an automated payment flow, allowing agents and robots to work together in a simpler and faster way.

Virtuals Protocol Expands Its Agent Network Into Robotics
This integration follows a series of efforts since last year to expand the scope of digital agents. OpenMind is developing an open robot operating system, while Virtuals Protocol continues to develop robotics projects such as SeeSaw and PrismaX.
The combination of the two creates a collaborative space that feels unique, as robots can receive instructions from AI agents and move in sync without having to rely on traditional methods that typically require human intervention. Furthermore, this connection also integrates automated payments, allowing every robot action to be processed in a single, simpler flow.
This emerging coordination between agents and robots is an early sign of how their ecosystem is evolving. However, several challenges remain, particularly regarding hardware compatibility, system security, and the robot’s ability to operate in unpredictable physical environments.
If the ecosystem expands, it’s possible that robots could be “rented” or summoned by specific agents to complete specific daily tasks.
Furthermore, their plan to open an agent marketplace next year further enhances the overall picture. This marketplace will allow developers to create and monetize agents directly. There’s also a governance mechanism through a token lock model, which appears to be designed to encourage user community involvement.
All of this demonstrates that their product development isn’t proceeding in isolation, but rather moving in an interconnected pattern, even though the ecosystem is still in its early stages.
Additionally, in our previous report on November 11, we mentioned Virtuals Protocol’s launch of Luna.fun, an AI-powered meme launchpad on the BNB Chain that allows agents to create and trade content automatically.
Meanwhile, in late October, we also highlighted the introduction of VPay, an expansion of its payment utility that makes agent tokens spendable through Visa-compatible transactions.
Then on July 8, we reported on their support for AI curation through the launch of ZAIA, a content curation service for adult creators within the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem.
As of the writing time, VIRTUAL is changing hands at about $0.843, slightly up 0.20% over the last 4 hours with $59.60 million in daily spot trading volume.
