OpenAI wants its own fleet of intelligent humanoids.
The robot race
According to Wired, OpenAI has taken the intelligent robot race to the next level by actively recruiting robotics experts.
New objectives
This suggests that the company is now turning its attention to the design of complete, autonomous robots.
Only
Open AI would therefore no longer be limited to software development, contrary to what had been assumed for several months.
Household chores
According to Wired, robotics expert Chengshu Li, who has collaborated with Stanford, DeepMind, NVIDIA and Google Brain Robotics, joined the OpenAI team in June 2025, after conducting research into evaluating the capabilities of humanoid robots for various domestic tasks.s team after conducting research into evaluating the capabilities of humanoid robots in performing various domestic tasks.
Specific profiles
Remember that in January 2025, job ads revealed that OpenAI was planning to develop robotic hardware by recruiting experts in sensors, actuators and platforms, showing that the company no longer intended to limit itself to the software side.
On a large scale
OpenAI's recent vacancies are aimed at profiles with skills in mechanical engineering, manufacturing and prototyping, as well as in the design of robotic systems incorporating motion and touch sensors.design of robotic systems integrating motion and touch sensors, with possible experience in large-scale production.
