According to technology media The Information, ChatGPT developer OpenAI is exploring the development of its own humanoid robots. Although OpenAI closed its robotics division in 2021, the company has actively engaged in the robotics field through investments in recent years. Currently, OpenAI has invested in three robotics companies: Figure, 1X, and Physical Intelligence. Among them, Figure AI, founded in 2020, focuses on autonomous general-purpose robotics.

Figure AI has raised 4.8 billion yuan, achieving a valuation of 2.6 billion dollars. They are collaborating with OpenAI to develop AGI robots using the GPT series of large models. Their product, the physical robot '01', can be applied in fields such as warehousing, housekeeping, and security. This financing will promote the commercial deployment of Figure products and accelerate the research and application of AGI robots.
