OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with robotics startup Figure to integrate AI systems into humanoid robots. Figure, based in Sunnyvale, California, secured $675 million in venture capital funding from notable backers like Jeff Bezos, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Intel, and OpenAI.
Despite being a young company without a commercial product, Figure aims to revolutionize workplaces and homes by introducing billions of human-like robots. CEO Brett Adcock envisions a future where these robots can perform tasks that humans may not prefer, potentially leading to the sale of millions or even billions of units.
