OpenAI is best known for its artificial intelligence models, which to this point mainly exist on cloud servers, on its website, and in applications for PCs and mobile devices.
However, the company does not limit its ambitions to the software area: today on first roles of hardware robotics.
These include: electrical engineer involved in systems integration “to help us design the sensor suite for our robots” and a product engineer in the field of mechanical robotics to create “gearboxes, actuators, motors and connections for robots”, in addition to a TPM manager in the robotics team “responsible for managing the logistics of our data collection lab, including ensuring contract workers have what they need to collect data from our test sites.”
The lists also include a description of the latest enterprise:

Kalinowska herself announced her employment at OpenAI for just over two months ago “to be a leader in robotics and consumer hardware.”
Previously, OpenAI was reportedly working on hardware with the former Apple Chief Designer Jony Iveand the company has partnered with robotics startup Figura to offer models that power the latter’s humanoid robots.
Kalinowski’s latest post and job offers signal the company’s biggest and heaviest investment yet in building its own robotics division, which could ultimately mean it should compete with Figura.
However, this could not be a latest place for OpenAI, considering that it also competes with Microsoft and takes investment money from it.
