What happened
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.

Why it matters
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.
