## Summary

Speaking on the Sources podcast, Altman confirmed that OpenAI will manufacture humanoid robots itself, arguing that appearance matters far less than the "brain" that drives the robot. He expects a striking demo prototype in 2027, but robots reaching the streets will take several more years, and the company has not announced the appearance, price, or launch date. OpenAI's careers page currently lists 27 robotics positions, covering motion control, state estimation, actuator control, whole-body behavior development, and in-house mechatronic actuators.
