OpenAI is accelerating its efforts in embodied intelligence, with Sam Altman stating, "We will definitely develop humanoid robots."

PerceiveAI Beating AI News: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has stated that the company "will definitely build a humanoid robot," and will also explore other forms of robots. Altman believes that since many real-world facilities and tools are designed around humans, a humanoid structure is more suitable for navigating physical environments.

OpenAI is currently restructuring its robotics team, hiring talents in areas such as robot control algorithms, actuator design, data collection, and Embodied AI. Previously, OpenAI had shut down its early robotics project around 2021 due to a lack of sufficient real-world data to train robotic systems. Now, with the development of large-scale models and robot data ecosystems, the company is doubling down on this field.

Altman has expressed interest in Embodied AI and humanoid robots multiple times before, stating that if AI possesses near-general intelligence but cannot perform tasks in the real world, it would be a limitation.
