5’6″. 154 pounds. No, this isn’t the card for some rising lightweight UFC fighter. Instead, it’s the description of a new AI robot from Figure called Figure 02, a first-of-its-kind general-purpose AI humanoid. Commercially viable and fully autonomous, Figure aims for Figure 02 to begin working alongside humans as soon as possible, allowing companies to create and produce more products, filling in alongside us where there are drastic labor shortages, and swapping in for us when our jobs become unsafe. Figure 02 is built a lot like us, albeit a little slower and with a payload of just over 45 pounds. But its hands allow it to open doors and use tools, and it has functional arms and legs that allow it to maneuver tight spaces efficiently, climb stairs, lift boxes, place items on shelves, and more. And it can talk, correct itself, learn from its mistakes, and comes pre-loaded with “common sense.”
