OpenAI is building a robotics team again, five years after shutting the division down. The team grew out of the world simulation research program. CEO Sam Altman's long-term goal: a personal robot for everyone. In the near term, robots will help build infrastructure.

OpenAI is hiring robotics engineers in San Francisco with salaries up to $310K as it pushes to build general-purpose robots with AGI-level intelligence.
