The rising star in the field of intelligent robots, Figure Inc., has recently unveiled its latest masterpiece—the Figure02 robot. This all-in-one intelligent robot, incorporating multiple cutting-edge technologies, not only marks another significant breakthrough in AI technology but also heralds the imminent arrival of a new era in human-machine interaction.
It is reported that Figure02 has undergone comprehensive innovations in both hardware and software based on its predecessor. Its most notable features are its dexterous hand movements and powerful conversational visual capabilities, with computational and reasoning abilities tripling those of the previous model.
Industry experts point out that the introduction of Figure02 signifies a substantive breakthrough in AI technology within the physical robot sector. This robot not only demonstrates outstanding performance in laboratory environments but also makes its mark in real-world industrial settings. Figure02 has been tested on the BMW production line in Spartanburg, South Carolina, fully showcasing its potential in complex industrial environments.
Core Features:
Voice-to-Voice Functionality: Equipped with built-in microphones, speakers, and custom AI models, Figure02 can engage in natural and fluid conversations with humans, opening new possibilities for human-machine collaboration.
Advanced Visual System: Featuring six onboard RGB cameras, it drives a high-performance AI visual system, enabling the robot to accurately perceive its surroundings.
Revolutionary Hand Design: The fourth-generation hands have 16 degrees of freedom and strength comparable to humans, significantly enhancing the robot's operational precision and flexibility.
Visual Language Model (VLM): This innovative technology allows the robot to perform rapid commonsense visual reasoning, greatly enhancing its adaptability to environments.
Extended Battery Life: Equipped with a 2.25 kWh battery, its runtime is 50% longer than its predecessor, meeting the needs of prolonged operations.
Robust Computing Power: With significantly improved CPU/GPU performance, its computational and AI reasoning capabilities are three times that of the previous generation, providing strong support for complex task processing.
Brett Adcock, co-founder of Figure.AI, stated in an exclusive interview with our newspaper: "The birth of Figure02 is not just a technological advancement but a revolution in the way humans interact with machines. We look forward to it bringing profound impacts to multiple fields such as industrial manufacturing and home services."
It is worth mentioning that Figure02 integrates OpenAI's multimodal large model, meaning it can not only understand voice commands but also perform deep reasoning by combining visual information. For example, in warehouse management, Figure02 can accurately locate and handle items through visual identification and voice interaction, greatly improving work efficiency.
Additionally, Figure02 adopts an exoskeleton structural design, significantly enhancing the robot's durability and shock resistance. The integration of cabling technology and custom wire terminals not only optimizes the robot's appearance but also improves maintenance convenience and stability.
However, despite the impressive potential of Figure02, industry experts also caution that careful consideration is needed during its deployment. "We must fully consider ethical and safety issues to ensure that the development of AI technology always serves human welfare," said an AI ethics expert who wished to remain anonymous.
With the introduction of Figure02, we have reason to believe that the application of intelligent robots will soon expand from industrial production lines to broader fields, including home services and medical care. This will not only reshape our ways of working but also profoundly impact our daily lives.
