OpenAI reassembles its robotics team after three years, recruiting research engineers to join the newly formed team, responsible for training multimodal models and developing new features. The company aims to coexist with other robotics companies by integrating its technology into their systems. OpenAI’s internal venture fund invested in companies developing humanoid robots.

OpenAI’s robotics team, led by co-founder Wojciech Zaremba, always aimed to create a general-purpose robot. In 2019, their researchers trained a neural network to solve a Rubik’s cube using a robotic arm. However, in 2020, OpenAI halted its robotics research due to a lack of training data, but now they’re back in the game.
