OpenAI has ramped up its robotics initiative, employing around 100 data collectors to teach robotic arms to perform household tasks. Currently, the lab utilizes two Franka robots to master increasingly complex chores, reflecting a shift from OpenAI's earlier robotics shutdown in 2020. As AI expert Jonathan Aitken notes, “everyone is fighting for a way to develop large data sets,” highlighting the lab's novel approach in developing household robots.
