Figure AI has unveiled its new humanoid robot, Figure 02, an upgrade from last year’s Figure 01. Touted as potentially the “most advanced humanoid robot on the market,” Figure 02 is built to improve efficiency and safety in industrial settings..
Key features:
Speech-to-speech: Figure 02 is capable of speech-to-speech conversation with humans through onboard mics and speakers connected to custom AI models trained in partnership with OpenAI.
Onboard VLM: Figure 02 has an onboard vision language model that enables fast common-sense visual reasoning from robot cameras.
Battery: 2.25 KWh custom battery pack in the robot torso delivers 50%+ more energy to maximize robot runtime.
Integrated wiring: Integrated cabling for power and compute communication allows for concealed wires, higher reliability, and tighter packaging.
Cameras: Figure 02 perceives and understands the physical world through its AI-driven vision system powered by 6 onboard RGB cameras.
4th generation hands: The latest human-scale hands are equipped with 16 degrees of freedom and human-equivalent strength which enables a wide range of human-like tasks.
CPU/GPU: Figure 02 has 3x the computation and AI inference available on-board compared to the previous generation. This enables real-world AI tasks to be performed fully autonomously.
Figure 02 isn’t available to everyone yet, but it represents a big step in using robots for difficult jobs, potentially making workplaces safer. However, its capabilities also raise concerns about robots taking over manual jobs, similar to trends seen in companies like Amazon.
