OpenAI is recruiting exceptional full-stack hardware, ops, systems, and ML engineers who want to build real robots for the physical world.
What they're building
- Near-term — assistant robots for skilled workers: construction, infrastructure.
- Long-term — personal robots for everyone.
Progress is moving fast through hardware and ML co-design. Sam Altman (CEO, OpenAI) announced that the company's world simulation research group has become the new OpenAI Robotics department.
Why it matters
OpenAI shut down its first robotics team in 2021 to focus on language models. Coming back to physical AI signals the company believes AGI needs to operate in the real world, not just the digital one.
