OpenAI robotics analysis is resuming, making use of generative AI to duties resembling manipulation. | Credit score: OpenAI
OpenAI LLC, which is finest identified for ChatGPT, is restarting its robotics analysis group. The San Francisco-based firm has been a pioneer in generative synthetic intelligence and is returning to robotics after a three-year break.
This comes as no shock, since The Robotic Report has reported on a number of robotics firms working with ChatGPT and huge language fashions (LLMs) over the previous yr.
The reboot comes after the firm shut down its robotics group in July 2021. That shutdown was previous to all the curiosity in generative AI after OpenAI launched ChatGPT to the world.
When the corporate shut down its unique robotics analysis group, co-founder Wojciech Zaremba stated: “I really consider fairly strongly within the strategy that the robotics [team] took in that course, however from the angle of AGI [artificial general intelligence], I believe that there was really some elements lacking. So once we created the robotics [team], we thought that we might go very far with self-generated knowledge and reinforcement studying.”
OpenAI is a 2024 RBR50 award honoree for the innovation of LLMs together with the appliance programming interfaces (APIs) which have enabled robotics builders to reveal interplay between bodily robots and the generative AI. In March 2023, OpenAI launched the APIs which have facilitated this interplay for the robotics trade.

OpenAI is hiring a robotics engineer
As first reported in Fortune this week, OpenAI is once more hiring once more for its robotics staff, with an open place for a analysis robotics engineer. It’s searching for somebody able to “coaching multimodal robotics fashions to unlock new capabilities for our companions’ robots, analysis and develop enhancements to our core fashions, together with exploring new mannequin architectures, gathering robotics knowledge, and evaluations.”
“We’re searching for individuals who have a robust analysis background, along with expertise transport AI functions,” stated the corporate.
OpenAI has additionally participated as an investor in humanoid developer Determine AI’s Sequence B fundraising earlier this yr. The Determine AI funding indicated that robotics is clearly on the radar for OpenAI.
