"Machine Economy Series 4️⃣: From Remote Operation to Autonomous Entities, a 5-Year Evolution Roadmap" The machine economy won't happen overnight. Based on the technological maturity of @openmind_agi and @virtuals_io, I've projected three stages in which the physical world will be reshaped over the next 3-5 years. This collaboration will be implemented in phases over the next few years, each corresponding to a different business model. 1️⃣ Infrastructure and Single-Point Breakthroughs (6-12 months) This is the "road-building" stage. 🔹Logistics and Inspection: Robot fleets utilize ACP (Agent Computer Protocol) for simple route planning and can autonomously pay for charging stations. 🔹Remote Operation Pilot: Utilizing OpenMind's low-latency network, global remote operation of humanoid robots will be implemented. OpenMind launched a selective pilot in December 2025. 🔹Data Monetization: Robots are not just workers, but also mobile data collectors. They validate and sell sensor data (such as street congestion and air quality) through FABRIC. 2️⃣ RaaS and Agent Market Explosion (1-2 years) This is the stage where "app stores" emerge. 🔹RaaS (Robot as a Service) Market: A unified robot rental platform will appear (similar to Didi Chuxing). Users don't need to own robots; they can simply dispatch and rent them on demand across brands. 🔹Skill Subscription: You purchase a general-purpose "whiteboard" robot and then subscribe to "Michelin Chef Agent" or "Professional Cleaning Agent" modules through the Virtuals marketplace. Software defines hardware functionality. 🔹Crowdsourced Mapping: Decentralized robots collaboratively build high-precision maps and are incentivized through tokens. 3️⃣ Autonomous Economy (3-5 years) This is the stage of "machine citizens." 🔹Complete Autonomy: Robots become independent economic entities (Autonomous Economic Agents). They autonomously decide when to accept orders, when to rest, and even autonomously procure parts for maintenance. 🔹Collective Intelligence: Based on Fabric's knowledge dissemination, a machine in New York learns how to handle a new type of doorknob, and bots across the network can learn within seconds. 🔹Physical Oracles: Bots, as the most reliable data source in the real world, provide location proofs and environmental monitoring data for DeFi and DePIN, becoming beacons connecting the physical world and on-chain finance. 🔮Next Episode Preview: Faced with such a grand vision, how can ordinary investors and developers participate? In the fifth installment, I will analyze investment opportunities and potential risks.
