Robotics startup Figure AI has unveiled the brand new Figure 02, the latest iteration of its humanoid robots following the debut of its Figure 01 model in March. The new model features significant upgrades, including enhanced AI systems, improved computer vision with six AI-powered RGB cameras, and a redesigned battery pack.
Some changes give the model some advantages over its competitors, like its brand new set of hands. The new iteration has 16 degrees of freedom, which is more than any top-of-the-line robot—but still way less than a real human hand, which has 27 degrees of freedom.
Figure says its update also brings an inference system that processes information three times faster than the previous model, with 50% more runtime compared to its latest generation, and AI-powered learning and self-corrections for working tasks.
Figure AI has partnered with OpenAI to bring advanced language and visual processing to their robots. An earlier demo of its Figure 01 model showcased real-time conversations and task completion driven by AI. Figure’s senior AI engineer, Corey Lynch, explained that it could “describe its visual experience, plan future actions, reflect on its memory, and explain its reasoning verbally.” This has also been improved in Figure 02.
