OpenAI is reportedly exploring the development of humanoid robots, according to a report from The Information cited by TechCrunch. High-level discussions on the matter have taken place, confirmed by two individuals closely associated with the initiative.
Although OpenAI previously shut down its robotics division in 2021, the company has remained active in the sector, investing in startups like Figure and 1X. However, reentering robotics now would present challenges due to fierce competition and advancements in AI and hardware over the past three years.
