OpenAI is re-entering the robotics field after previously disbanding its division, with hardware director Caitlin Kalinowski announcing the development of robots featuring custom sensors.

Job listings indicate that the team aims to create versatile, adaptive robots for real-world use, integrating custom sensors, AI models, and computational components.

Some listings suggest the robots could have limbs, and there are plans for high-volume production, potentially exceeding one million units.

OpenAI is also exploring humanoid robots, with companies like X1 and Figure, supported by OpenAI, pursuing similar goals.
