OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is expanding into the robotics sector, signaling a shift in the AI industry. The company has posted job listings for senior engineering roles focused on designing sensor suites and other hardware components for robots. These roles aim to develop general-purpose and adaptive robots powered by AI models developed by OpenAI, with plans to produce hardware at a high volume of over 1 million units. This move into robotics, described as the 'ChatGPT moment for robotics' by Nvidia's Jensen Huang, is led by OpenAI's hardware leader Caitlin Kalinowski. The development aligns with industry trends towards humanoid robots, potentially transforming office routines and industrial applications.
