When you're working on robotics or AI, there's a critical fork in the road: are you shipping individual products, or are you building the foundational layer that lets all those products talk to each other?

That second path is harder. It's unglamorous. But it's also where the real leverage lives.

OM1 is taking that bet. An open-source, hardware-agnostic robot operating system—the kind of infrastructure play that doesn't grab headlines but quietly reshapes entire ecosystems. Instead of locking everything into proprietary stacks, you get a common protocol that any hardware can plug into. That's the difference between fragmented point solutions and genuine interoperability.
