February 5, 2012 - Silicon Valley-basedrobot<\/a>newly established enterprise Figure<\/a> announced today via social media platform X the termination of its relationship with artificial intelligence giant OpenAI<\/a> of the partnership.

The company's founder, Brett Adcock, didn't give out technical details but boasted that he'd be out in 30 days.\"Disrupting the humanoid robotics industry<\/strong>\"Innovations.<\/p>\n

As an early investor in Figure, OpenAI entered into a collaboration agreement last year to develop a new generation of AI models for humanoid robots. At the time, Figure had just completed a $675 million round of financing, and its valuation had risen to $2.6 billion (note: currently around RMB 18.911 billion). To date, the three-year-old company has attracted $1.5 billion (currently about RMB 10.91 billion).<\/p>\n

The parting of the ways was quite a surprise to the industry, especially at the current time.\u00a0OpenAI's halo effect can bring huge attention to partners<\/strong>The two companies also announced last summer that the Figure 02 robot would be equipped with OpenAI's natural language interaction system. The two companies also made a high-profile announcement last summer that the Figure 02 humanoid robot would be powered by OpenAI's natural language interaction system.<\/p>\n

According to TechCrunch, Adcock explained the breakup of the partnership as stemming from theTechnology integration challenges<\/strong>He. He noted that OpenAI, a giant in the field of general AI, has a technology path that is similar to embodied intelligence focused on physical robotsThere are essential differences<\/strong>. \"To realize truly commercializable robotic intelligence, a vertically integrated system from hardware to software must be established. Just as we developed mechanical joints in-house, the AI brain must be customized.\"<\/p>\n

In contrast, building a complete end-to-end AI system specifically for robots is what Figure AI believes is the right path.<\/p>\n

OpenAI is taking a \"multi-bet\" approach to humanoid robotics, with the organization betting heavily on Norwegian startup 1X in addition to Figure. In addition to Figure, the agency is also betting heavily on Norwegian startup 1X, which, unlike its industrial peers, is focused on the home services market. Figure also revealed last year that it was exploring the home market, but Adcock admits that its focus is still on enterprise customers. Automakers are far more able and willing to purchase new technologies than consumers, with BMW deploying Figure robots at its South Carolina plant, for example.<\/p>\n

OpenAI recently filed a trademark application with the U.S. Patent Office, indicating that it is working on the fields of \"programmable humanoid robots\" and \"entertainment service robots with learning capabilities\". Although patent filings are not the same as product planning, the sudden termination of Figure's partnership has triggered industry speculation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

February 5, 2012 - Silicon Valley-based robotics startup Figure announced today via social media platform X that it is ending its partnership with AI giant OpenAI.
