Figure AI, a robotics innovator, and BMW, the German automobile giant, have revealed remarkable advancements in the Figure 02 humanoid robot’s capabilities.
Operating on a production line, the Figure 02 robot has made a significant leap, achieving a 400% increase in speed and a sevenfold improvement in success rate.
I still don’t get who these videos are intended to brag to.
It’s a showpiece to make the stock go up.
Proof of concept. Speed has already increased and it will.
Lots of companies must be looking into humanoid robots and I know they have already been looking into robotic arms
The unions, probably.
I don’t understand the desire to make humanoid robots. If a human shape is more efficient because of the workflow or physical restrictions, why not just rearrange the production line and use regular robot arms?
What is the point of building faster, if you don’t sell enough to begin with…
Smells like wasted investment/money/resources to me…
