ROBOTS & HARDWARE WATCH TECHNICAL

Reports say Samsung is developing a humanoid that swaps batteries, and Altman says OpenAI is building a robot

According to a post on X by @yokoshaan, citing JoongAng Ilbo, Samsung is reportedly developing a two-legged humanoid robot that swaps batteries without shutting down, with a target debut at CES 2027. The post notes that Samsung has not announced the robot. Separately, a shared report says Sam Altman confirmed OpenAI is building a humanoid in-house, designing the AI brain first and letting the hardware follow.

Citing JoongAng Ilbo, the post says Samsung is developing a two-legged humanoid that swaps batteries without shutting down, targeting a CES 2027 debut; Samsung hasn't announced it.

A robot that can swap batteries without powering down could matter to manufacturers and operators who need machines running around the clock. For OpenAI, an in-house humanoid would suggest robotics is moving closer to its core AI work, though no hardware details are given. Both claims rest on secondhand reporting, so the next signals to watch are official announcements from Samsung and OpenAI, and whether Samsung shows the robot at CES 2027.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
