OpenAI Confirms In-House Humanoid-Robot Development

Sam Altman reportedly confirmed OpenAI is developing humanoid robots in-house, with a compelling demo prototype targeted for 2027. A report lists 27 robotics openings across actuators, control, manufacturing and supply chain, while claims that prior Figure/1X partnerships ended lack named confirmation. The strategy reportedly emphasizes owning the sensing-and-training data loop, but technical evidence remains limited and public deployment is still described as years away.
