What happens when robotics, AI, and blockchain converge? We’re excited to share OpenMind’s latest industry primer, a comprehensive exploration of robotics, AI, and blockchain synergy. Packed with insights into:

- Why Robotics, AI, and Blockchain?
- Key applications
- Major trends and blueprints

Kudos to the key contributors and reviewers who helped bring this primer to life. (1/7)

2/ According to @Forbes, the global robotics market will reach approximately $73.01 billion by 2030, up from $46.11 billion in 2024. Here’re some use cases of autonomous robots in different verticals.

3/ However, we have identified some key challenges for widespread robotic adoption:

- Limited observability in end-to-end models
- Data limitation and constraints in VLAM training
- Autonomy and reasoning challenges
- Limited real life interaction feedback
- Inter-robot communication/coordination challenges
- High costs with development, deployment and scalability

And here’s how we think AI and blockchain together can help.

4/ AI enhances intelligence and adaptability, empowering robotics to become smarter, more efficient, and highly reliable.

5/ Crypto enables coordination, transparency, and native incentives, empowering robotics systems to collaborate effectively and expand their capabilities efficiently.

6/ The future is inevitable: inside the primer, you will find major trends to watch from key players across robotics, AI and crypto, including：
