The new Figure humanoid robot is ready to work in a warehouse environment.
The company Figure has introduced its humanoid robot, which already confidently walks and performs autonomous tasks. This happened just 12 months after development started. Unlike its competitors, Figure does not seek to create a robot that can run or perform acrobatic tricks. The main goal is to make the robot useful in the workflow as quickly as possible.
The Figure robot is designed to perform simple tasks in a warehouse, such as moving items. However, its functionality will expand over time. A team consisting of 60 specialists in the field of artificial intelligence and robotics worked on this project. The company's founder, Brett Adcock, recruited professionals from companies such as Boston Dynamics, Google Deepmind, Tesla and Apple.
In this video, the Figure robot demonstrates dynamic bipedal walking, achieved by the team in less than a year. This, according to Adcock, is a record time for creating a new humanoid robot.
The robot is already able to perform various actions: pick up objects, move them, and navigate in space. The prototype is expected to do useful work by the end of the year.
In an interview, Adcock talked about the differences between torque-based control and position-and speed-based control. He stressed that their robot uses a more modern method that allows it to better adapt to the real world.
When asked about the robot's ability to run or jump, Adcock said that the goal of the researchers was to create a robot capable of performing human work, and not acrobatic tricks.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that Figure is committed to the commercial use of its robot, focusing on its practicality and efficiency in the workflow.
