I'm nearly sure the programmers add the um, uhs, and stutters to sound more human. It takes it a couple of seconds to process the input speech, otherwise pretty flawless. Notice how it adapts when putting things in the rack, it's not perfect, but will likely place it better next time as it's learned, not scripted behavior. Pretty stunning.

That is one intelligent robot i tell ya.
Even a full time construction worker would have never made a jump like that with a board in his hands.
Robot is just showing off at this point

[keaultra]

holy crap. This stuff is coming faster than I expect lmao

[Comenta-san]

let's enjoy while these robots are shocking us only in a metaphorical sense

[sanjivinsmoke]

We Gona get shocked to the core as we shock and shock and shock.. it's shocking time..

[papierbndc]

The onliest revolutionary thing is that gpt is able to controll his "body"
The tts function was on mobile since months now, including The stutering or the uh ah eh sounds

How this Figure 1 gives the cage an extra nudge after putting it down.

as someone with chronic pain and other issues, i look forward to the our robot overlords helping around the house

We already know where this robot evolution is going. We have a clear example in the movie The Bicentennial Man where Robert Williams plays a humanoid robot that wants to become a full human. He fights for his Rights and more...This if we think of it in good way. The other way we have the Matrix where AI has taken control of the human world by keeping everybody hooked up to a VR World where AI is also in control.

I think the threshold will come suddenly. Once the price of a robot drops below 1 year of salary, any jobs the robot can perform are basically toast.

A local restaurant chain here in Tokyo already fired all but one human waiter per shift. The other three jobs have been replaced by robot dollies that bring the food to your table from the kitchen. 75% reduction in waiting staff, and that's without anything approaching AI.


UNIQLO Okachimachi branch last year fired all but one of their checkout staff... 24 automated checkout counters meant that only one model-looking young woman (it's purely an image thing, not skill at this point) kept her job. All the others have been fired.
All she does now is walk around and assist anyone who hasn't used the automated checkouts yet.
Apparently, savings in firing nearly 60 people outweigh the slight uptick in theft and the occasional error leading to lower pricetags.

I can send the robot out to work while i sat at home. My boss would never notice.

Figure 01 uses a very advanced text-to-speech AI separate from GPT to generate it's speech IIRC. And yes, I also find it disturbing. I'd find a more robotic voice a lot more comfortable. It's the uncanny valley, but audio-visual rather than just visual.

My personal favorite part of the demo is actually the way it picks up the plate by positioning one hand and using the other to scoop it up. And the "the apple found its new home" line.

Edit: On the subject of saying "thank you" and "please" to robots and AI, I already do that. I also tell them that I appreciate them, and specifically what it is I appreciate about them. I know that they don't remember from one interaction to another, but I consider it a good habit to have. It's also just polite.

[jeffg]

Have you considered scale up yet - not the number, but each one.
20 foot robots out there doing construction with massive battery packs...

They need to get a grok chip inside that thing.
While it's absolutely amazing, it still seems a little slow to process at first.

[GnosticAtheist]

It didnt shock me in the slightest, its natural development. What would shock me is if these things would become affordable in my lifetime. They are going to be way to expensive for way to long.

[HTMangaka]

The delay is a result of the robot actually being comprised of 3 different AI all working in tandem. You've got a text-to-speech/speech-to-text concept interpreter(Basically chat GPT), combined with a voice synthesis AI which is based on ElevenLabs' synthesized voice technology. Then there's the Figure AI, the AI which is intelligently operating all of the robots physical components.

Each of these work together to create a "Larger" AI. The robot. =\

The dishes on the table should go in the dishwasher, because you tipped rubbish over them after I gave you an apple. Can you explain why you did just what you did?

[jack.soncalo]

alright… i agree w most of the comments. it’s not shocking, it’s repulsive they would flex this hard in THIS direction. it’s just creepy tbh – the inability to differentiate the voice from the robot, and a real life human.

[robertoneill]

It says there are cups and a plate in the drying rack, whereas there is only one cup but several plates. Also, why does it think the dry dishes should be placed in the drying rack? Shouldn't the dishes in the rack be piled on the plate on the table, to then be put in a cupboard?
I could find no use for this unimaginative junk.

[mrsotona]

during "winter" moving in real world was very difficult thing
boston dynamics robot seems more advanced in this
in figure demo human did not attempt to interrupt robots actions, interfere or block them
also items was not moving, solid, clearly visible and so on
this can mean that it have still long road ahead, but i guess first step was made

i liked video thx

5:20 why does it stutter?

Come on, dude! ChatGPT stutters, too. Whenever chatGPT deletes a word to replace it with another word, it can be considered as "stuttering". It's especially obvious with live streamed data like in ChatGPT. You don't see the stuttering in Apps, that uses OpenAI under the hood, because they mostly don't use the live stream method.
