OpenAI is back in the robotics arena, and the world awaits the results
FE FEATURES

HEADQUARTERED IN SAN Francisco in the United States, artificial intelligence research organisation OpenAI has consistently stayed in the news in the past few years. Be it coming out with the internet's much-loved ChatGPT in 2022, the whole investors board vs CEO Sam Altman drama in 2023, or now, the news that it might be getting back into the humanoid robots space. We say 'getting back' because for the longest time OpenAI did have a dedicated robotics team, which it had to shut down three years ago, due to "insufficient training data", the company's co-founder Wojciech Zaremba, who also used to head the team, revealed in a podcast interview at the time. In an interesting turn of events, on December 24 last year, The Information, a US-based tech/business publication, quoted "two people with direct knowledge" on the subject saying that OpenAI has been exploring building a humanoid robot.
