Figure 01 Humanoid Robot Starts Functioning at BMW Factories

Figure released a new video of its humanoid robot functioning at BMW Group’s Spartanburg Plant. Recently Figure had signed a commercial agreement with BMW Manufacturing to deploy general purpose robots in automotive manufacturing environments.

Takes no breaks, has no office drama, doesn't need to be paid, has no emotional baggage, doesn't complain, no ego = great HR review!

Thank you for a balanced presentation. Too many channels show us something that moves like a constipated, arthritic ninety year old man, and describe it as some sort of super-athlete!
Developers seem determined to create 'Metal Humans'. Accept that the human form has numerous flaws, and design something that is stable, fast, accurate, minimises power use, yet works in an environment made for humans... For instance:
** Three of four "Whegs" (Legs that incorporate small powered wheels) This provides a smooth-moving, fast, stable base, able to function without complex balance provisions, yet it can still handle steps etc. (When you park your car, it uses NO energy to stay upright... How much energy does a bipedal robot (or human) use just to stand still?... and it is easily upset.)
** Three fingered hands. Two fingers used when pinching, three fingers used to grip larger items.
** Additional cameras incorporated into, or near, the hands for close-up vision when performing precise tasks.
There are many other things worth considering... DON'T JUST MIMIC HUMANS, IMPROVE ON THEM!
EDIT: ABB's YuMi Cobot would be a brilliant start. It is a perfect slot-in solution for the region from neck-to-navel! It's not new, but it has been the benchmark, with the competition only now starting to catch up.

how long until 100% safe level 5 autonomous driving! and what level of autonomous driving are we at now? Has Tesla reached an advanced level 3? or are these shades of a level 4? (I mean the beginning)

Humans in factory might soon be something of the past

here's the next question; why are they (robots) still assembling, instead of 3-d printing?

You promised to bring more videos on UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

[leeedens]

I hope these companies deploying humanoid robots, realize they aren't humans and won't be buying the things they are building

Oh no guys buckle up its gonna be faster than you think

But will they implement UBI before 2030!? Many pioneers including billionaires, scientists, Nobel Prize winners, engineers, architects, analysts and so on and so forth... almost all agree that we will have AGI in 2027 and ASI in 2029 and looking at and evaluating the exponential technological acceleration curve I wonder why they have not yet implemented universal basic income to anticipate the trends that will come. Just to name one, Elon Musk says that we will have AGI already in 2025 and ASI 2029.

You wouldn't want to be in rush 😂😂😂😂😂😂

There are just a few months left until the release of CHATGPT 5 and the FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION will take

This technology will relentlessly move forward. Men won't ask "Should we make it more like a man?"; only "Can we?"; for profit, curiosity, evil, good, etc. When machines take over everything, and people are no longer defined or rewarded by what they do, how does society adapt to them? They'll need to be provided for somehow. Scary as it sounds, I believe technology will create a society. They'll be a basic care package - credits, medical, food, etc., for masses of people at the bottom, under some reworked financial system, few in the middle, and a very few ultra-rich, shark-tank capitalists at the top, their machines controlling everything,

Robots won't be buying bmw's either! 🤔 people buy bmw's with money that they make! If nobodies making money... then companies products won't sell. Going out of business asap!
