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.
The main use of humanoid robots is to work in environments suitable for humans (think inspecting a dam or such, climbing ladders and everything), as well as flexibility, especially when it comes to low-frequency tasks. BMW makes a lot of different models with tons of different options, their production line isn’t really a line it’s a directed graph.
