Fabric Founda2026-07-21 05:28:12Fabric Foundation launches RoboPay to turn robot capabilities into paid servicesFabric Foundation has introduced RoboPay, a payment rail designed for machines. The project is aimed at turning robot capabilities into services that can be discovered, invoked, paid for, and verified. At the center of the model is what the foundation calls “pay-to-actuate”: users or systems pay for an action, the payment is verified, the machine carries out the task, and the result is returned. The framework is described as applicable to a range of hardware, including humanoid robots, robotic arms, mobile robots, drones, and cameras. Fabric Foundation also said RoboPay can be triggered by web apps, marketplaces, enterprise workflows, other machines, or AI agents. The announcement was shared by the foundation through its X account.1320
