|
6.2
OpenAI has quietly built and scaled a robotics lab in San Francisco since February 2025, employing about 100 contract data collectors to teleoperate Franka robotic arms around the clock. The program focuses on collecting large household-task datasets—tasks like folding laundry and placing toast—using 3-D-printed GELLO controllers and plans a second lab in Richmond, California. The effort signals OpenAI's push into devices and robotics training capabilities.
