These images provide clues to what ChatGPT will look like when the creators make a physical version of their hugely popular artificial intelligence.
The creator of ChatGPT, OpenAI, has invested in 1X, a company that creates humanoid robots designed to do human work following the success of the online chatbot.
The robot, called EVE, has manipulators that can pick up objects and pack and unpack boxes – and is designed to work alongside humans.
OpenAI’s Startup Fund led a .
5 million investment round for the 1X robot, which will hit the market this summer.
The investment fuels OpenAI’s rivalry with Elon Musk’s Tesla bot, which has yet to begin production.

OpenAI’s Startup Fund led a $23.5 million investment round for the 1X robot, due this summer
Brad Lightcap, COO of OpenAI and manager of the OpenAI Startup Fund, said in a rack: ‘1X is at the forefront of increasing labor through the use of safe, advanced technologies in robotics.
“The OpenAI Startup Fund believes in the approach and impact 1X can have on the future of work.”
1X plans to use the money to scale up production of its first commercially available Android EVE in Norway and North America — and build another biped Android, NEO.
Experts have suggested that EVE and 1x’s other robot, NEO, could replace workers or orderlies.
EVE is designed to gently move and manipulate objects, interact with soft objects such as people, and perform repetitive tasks.
The humanoid is controlled using VR, with a robot operator in a control center looking through the android’s camera eyes.
The company is currently recruiting experts in the field of artificial intelligence, according to its recruiting page which reads, “If you’re smart, kind, driven and want to build androids, join us.”
Many experts believe that big language models like ChatGPT will change the way we use and interact with robots.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, George Strakhov, chief strategy officer at advertising firm DDB EMEA, said: “Generative AI will be absolutely transformative for the two problems we currently have with robots – that they are pretty stupid, and they don’t always do that. understand what we want.
‘Large language models (such as GPT-4) are exceptionally good at complex reasoning. So when robots are powered by LLMs, they can act much more dynamically, respond to environmental changes, plan ahead, etc.
So that they don’t get stuck in a scenario rut, but instead can “think through” the steps to take for whatever goal the user asks them to achieve.
In the future, we will control robots simply by talking to them – and they will talk back, Strakhov believes.
LLMs also enable the dream of Linguistic User Interface. If we can talk to our robots and they understand us and reply back, it increases the number of situations in which they are useful,” Strakhov said.
And realistic voice synthesis and facial/emotion synthesis will allow them to interact much more ‘naturally’ with us, making it comfortable for more people (including old/young) to interact with robots – just as they interact with other people. to communicate .’
Earlier this year, Microsoft – which invested $10 billion in OpenAI – showed researchers using ChatGPT to control robots.
In response to simple voice commands, such as “Find out where I can heat up my lunch,” a robot was able to enter a microwave from another room.
Microsoft said, “We want to help people interact with robots more easily, without having to learn complex programming languages or details about robotic systems.
“The main challenge here is to teach ChatGPT how to solve problems taking into account the laws of physics, the context of the work environment and how the robot’s physical actions can change the state of the world.

Last year, Tesla’s CEO showed off a walking Tesla robot – also called Optimus or the Tesla Bot – at the company’s 2022 AI Day.
Musk showed off what he described as a “crude development robot,” walking around without any support at the event in Palo Alto.
Musk has said he expects the robots to be on sale in three to five years.
1X’s EVE robot is said to be the first widely available humanoid android.
