OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is reportedly considering the development of its own humanoid robot, according to a report from The Information reported
While OpenAI has previously engaged in robotics through financial investments, including stakes in companies like Figure, 1X, and Physical Intelligence, this move signals a potential shift toward building physical AI-powered systems in-house.
This exploration follows OpenAI’s 2021 decision to shut down its robotics division, ending earlier ambitions in the field. However, significant advancements in hardware and artificial intelligence since then may have reignited interest.
A return to robotics would require OpenAI to navigate an increasingly competitive market. Industry experts note that without acquiring established startups, OpenAI’s robotics division would face challenges in catching up with companies that have made strides in integrating AI with humanoid hardware.
The company has not publicly commented on the report or its potential plans in robotics.
