Figure 2 Humanoid Bot

by

The Figure 02 humanoid bot is an improved humanoid bot.

Speech-to-speech reasoning: Figure 02 can have full conversations with humans. Onboard mics + speakers + custom AI models (partnered with OpenAI) = a robot you can actually talk to.

The human-scale hands are equipped with 16 degrees of freedom and human-equivalent strength which enables a wide range of human-like tasks

Onboard mics + speakers connected to custom AI models trained in partnership with OpenAI

Custom in-house designed 2.25 KWh battery pack in the robot torso. Upgraded battery delivers 50%+ more energy than Figure 01 to maximize robot runtime. 20-hour workday: A custom 2.25 KWh battery pack gives Figure 02 a 50%+ energy boost.

Custom wire terminals & connectors to increase robot reliability.

AI vision: Six RGB cameras spread across Figure 02’s body give it a 360-degree view of its surroundings. That means it sees EVERYTHING.

Vision Language Model (VLM): This allows the humanoid to understand what it sees and make quick, common-sense decisions based on visual input. This will be necessary for applications in complex, real-world environments. Enables semantic grounding and fast common-sense visual reasoning from robot cameras.

3x computational power: Figure 02 has 3x computational and AI inference available on board, enabling real-world AI tasks (like working at a BMW factory) to be performed autonomously.

  1. I wonder how long it will be until the decedents of these robots will be useful as a helper on the homestead. Vegetable gardening, animal husbandry, tree/firewood processing, auto repair/maintenance, and so many more chores benefit greatly with extra hands. Two people can more than double the output of one, if they work well together.
    I would think that at first, the human would do the more complex tasks, and the bot the scut work. It would be a proud day when your bot could cut down a tree, cut up, split, and stack firewood in a dry place.

  2. It looks production ready, Although so did Tesla Gen 2. I wonder if they will mass produce this one? My guess is probably only make a few hundred of this design, continue testing & refining it, then (like Tesla), mass produce Gen 3.

    We still have 2 more new robots to be unveiled this year.
    New Optimus, and new Digit.
    Next year will begin the robot craziness.

    • sure seems like the next 5 years will be crazy as we go from the realm of sci fi to sci reality for plenty of things

    • The really amazing thing is that it’s only been 5 months since the launch of Figure 01
      That says something about the rate of development of this industry

  3. If a new generation comes out every six months, I would guess “Figure 8” will be able to actually replace factory workers somewhere around 2029.

  4. I’d seen a bit of this video before, I live not far from that factory.

    Human hands are more like 20 degrees of freedom *per hand*, (Not counting the wrist.) the thumb and fingers each have four degrees of freedom, but I guess you could duplicate almost everything a human hand normally does with 16 degrees; The ability to individually control each joint doesn’t get much use in practice.

    It’s obvious from that awkward gait that they didn’t give the legs the full human degrees of freedom, either. But it seems enough to walk reliably. It should be able to do most jobs a human might do in a factory, outside of squirming around in tight spaces to do a repair.

    I guess it’s down to how much training it needs to learn new jobs. Humans probably still have the edge in flexibility at the moment. But this could definately take over most routine factory jobs if the AI is up to it.
