OpenAI's Robotics Relaunch: How Data Infrastructure Is Becoming the New Frontier in Physical AI

Two weeks ago, OpenAI announced it would relaunch its robotics program that was shuttered in 2021—a pivotal signal that physical AI is entering a new era. The company's return to robotics highlights a critical truth: while large language models have made rapid progress, physical AI faces a different and more complex challenge: data infrastructure.
