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
What is the point of building faster, if you don’t sell enough to begin with…
Smells like wasted investment/money/resources to me…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?
