OpenAI recently announced the launch of its robotics project to further explore the development of robotics technology. On January 11, Caitlin Kalinowski, the director of OpenAI's hardware division, revealed on social media that OpenAI will begin developing robots equipped with custom sensors and has posted related job openings on its official website.
This recruitment covers three key positions: Electronic Perception Engineer, Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer, and Technical Project Manager. The main responsibility of the Electronic Perception Engineer is to design and develop the robot's sensor systems, with a salary range between $360,000 and $440,000 per year; the Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for designing the core mechanical systems of the robots, including gears and motors, with a similar salary range; the Technical Project Manager will oversee and coordinate the entire product development process, with a salary of $340,000 to $440,000.
OpenAI's robotics team plans to focus on developing "general," "adaptive," and "multifunctional" robots so that they can operate in dynamic and real-world environments with human-like intelligence. To achieve this goal, OpenAI will independently develop sensors and computing components and use its own AI models for operation.
Regarding the upcoming first robot form from OpenAI, although there is no clear answer, the job postings suggest it may have limbs. Additionally, there is speculation that OpenAI might develop humanoid robots, which typically mimic human forms and behaviors. While developing a robotics project is not OpenAI's primary task, the company remains committed to research in the robotics field.
Key Points:
🔍 OpenAI launches robotics project, hiring for positions such as Electronic Perception Engineer.
🤖 Plans to develop "general" and "adaptive" robots, possibly involving humanoid forms.
💡 OpenAI continues to advance robotics research by investing in humanoid robot technology companies.
