GoKawiilOpenAI folds standalone robotics team into broader research and applied groups
OpenAI has disbanded its dedicated robotics team, reassigning researchers to its main research organization under Chief Research Officer Mark Chen, and moving applied robotics and hardware staff into its Applied organization under President Greg Brockman. The company told Fortune this reflects deepening commitment to robotics rather than a pullback, even as its booth at the CoRL robotics conference in Austin sat empty this week.
