OpenAI is developing a humanoid robot
OpenAI is developing a humanoid robot intended to operate in environments designed for people, Engadget reported. Chief executive Sam Altman said creating the machine’s artificial-intelligence ‘brain’ was a larger challenge than building its body, according to the RSS item, which did not give a launch timetable, price or detailed hardware plan.
Why it matters
The project would extend OpenAI from software models into the technically difficult field of general-purpose robotics.
