LAS VEGAS, March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today at the HumanX Summit, Coco Robotics announced a research collaboration with OpenAI aimed at advancing both AI and robotics. As part of this endeavor, Coco and OpenAI will share insights gained from more than half a million remotely monitored and piloted deliveries, and AI technology used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, respectively.
“AI is already a big part of our digital life, but the physical world has been largely untouched,” said Zach Rash, CEO of Coco Robotics. “Working with OpenAI brings us closer to robotic delivery that’s truly autonomous, ultra-reliable, and more affordable.”
Coco Robotics has significant experience dealing with complex and dynamic urban environments, and the company’s insights will help AI models continue to learn about novel situations. OpenAI’s models are today used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, are multimodal, and can play a meaningful role in advancing robotics research.
“We’re so excited about this research collaboration with Coco Robotics and the opportunity to work together to advance AI and robotics,” said OpenAI’s Caitlin Kalinowski. “Coco Robotics has a very impressive track record, and we look forward to exchanging knowledge to help bring the benefits of AI into the physical world.”
Through this collaboration, Coco will integrate OpenAI’s latest models into its robotics stack, further automating core tasks like path planning, obstacle avoidance, and real-time decision-making. The research collaboration will help the continued development of scalable, intelligent robotics that can safely and efficiently navigate urban environments.
