Openai, a popular AI chatbot Chatgpt, is said to be considering entering the field of humanoid robots. According to information reports, Openai is in a robot science space and discusses a robot like humans.
This is not the first time Openai has expressed interest in robot engineering and humanoids. Until 2021, Openai had a dedicated robotics department, focusing on creating AI models that could supply power to autonomous machines. However, the department was shut down to focus on artificial intelligence software, not hardware. WOJCIECH ZAREMBA, the leader of the department at the time, confirmed that the team had given up because the team could not train something to the desired intelligence level.
However, the company seems to have renewed interest in robot engineering. The information reporting this story quoted two unknown people who have direct knowledge of the problem. However, this report did not reveal the degree of these discussions.
Openai also invests in robot startups such as Figure AI, Physical Intelligence, and 1X Technologies. These startups have been working on the construction of humanoid robots and the development of artificial general information or AGI.
Earlier this year’s report claimed that Openai has begun to hire several research engineers specializing in robot engineering. It is reported that AI companies also discussed the first in -house chips to support artificial intelligence systems in discussions with Broadcom and TSMC.
Currently, the information on Openai’s ambitions, especially the world of robot engineering, especially in humanoid robots, is very limited. However, it does not seem to be a high -priority issue for the company. According to the report, Openai gives priority to the development of AI agents that help automate all kinds of software engineering and analysis tasks.
What is a humanoid robot?
Humanoid robots are designed to imitate human appearance and behavior, with heads, torso, arms, and legs. These robots are intended to run tasks in a human -like way and are suitable for humans designed for humans. Recent examples include Teslabot (Optimus), Atlas by Boston Dynamics, and Ciberon by Xiaomi.
Humanoid robots are important tools for testing AI functions in a physical form, and are an important tool for automating repeated work in warehouses and factories.
