September 4 News.OpenAI CEO Sam Altmann said in the podcast "Sources with Alex Heath" that OpenAI would do itHumanoid RobotIt also develops other forms of robotics. This is the first time he has clearly confirmed that OpenAI will develop its own human robotic body。
Altman explained that the existing doors, keyboards, equipment and kitchens were structured according to the human body, so that the human body structure was conducive to robotic adaptation to the real environment. But like in the data centres, OpenAI will choose a non-human design that is more mission-specific. In his view, the robot's appearance will ultimately serve the "brain to let the robot work."。
Altman puts the robot's "brain" in front of the fuselage, in the face of industry's different judgments about robotic trajectories. He stated that OpenAI Robotics was based on the common design of robotic hardware research and machine learning; team recruitment was directed to cover whole stack hardware, systems, machine learning and operation, with the aim of enabling models to perform their tasks in real physical environments。
He described "everyone has a personal robot capable of performing all kinds of tasks" as a long-term goal, with a short-term focus on supporting data centres and other infrastructure. OpenAI had formed an in-house robotic team earlier this year and recruited engineers in the fields of machine and electrical implementers, simulation lines and data collection。
