OpenAI, the company that created artificial intelligence services such as DALL-E and ChatGPT, is now planning to launch its own line of intelligent robots. This remarkable information has been confirmed by many news agencies and industry experts, with evidence based on the company’s investments in startups that produce humanoid robots. Here are the details
OpenAI focuses on the smart robot market
One of the companies invested by OpenAI is known as Figure AI, which developed Figure 02 and received $ 625 million in funding in the last investment round with OpenAI’s private participation.
In addition, OpenAI collaborated with Figure AI in the development of Figure 02, providing voice command support to AI models for industrial environments.
Another point that cannot be ignored is that Sam Altman’s company will not enter this market for the first time. Altman has previously trained a robotic arm to solve rubik’s cubes and even created Roboschool, a set of simulation tools for training robotic AI models. But this initiative was shut down by OpenAI in 2021.
Another company that OpenAI has invested in is Norway 1X. This company is known for being responsible for the humanoid robot EVE, which can run up to 15.7 km/h using wheels. Broadcom and TSMC are also in the field of vision of Sam Altman, who is trying to develop special artificial intelligence chips that can also be used in these robots.
According to expectations, the smart robot industry is said to reach a market value of $ 66 billion by 2032. This explains the sudden interest of many companies in this sector.
