Robotic Dog Conducts Autonomous Payments in USDC, Demonstrating Machine Economy with Circle and OpenMind

On the 17th, Circle, a major issuer of stablecoins, released a demo video of autonomous payments using OpenMind's robotic dog 'Bits'. The video shows the robotic dog paying for the use of a charging station in USDC and completing the charging process without human intervention. The payment was made on-chain, demonstrating the feasibility of small-scale machine-to-machine payments. This initiative was made possible through a partnership with OpenMind, a developer of foundational software and network technology for robots.
