Introducing Figure

Figure is an AI Robotics company building an autonomous general purpose humanoid robot.

Considering that tesla's robot is called "optimus", this one should've been called "megatron".

[samasd]

Boston Dynamics has done a tremendous job warming up the general public to accept autonomous robots. But they have also set a very high bar of expectations for capability, both in raw function and sophisticated interaction with their environment.

I'm excited to see what this company comes up with!

Can't wait to see a live demo of Figure in action! AI and robotics have been making incredible progress the past few years!

[kurowren]

Nothing gets me excited for a new product like 3D renderings of what it might look like if it actually existed. xD

today Wednesday March 13, 2024 Figure 1 showed us a small demonstration and it was totally awesome. Bring on the robots I’m here for it.

This dude would be at a home at a Daft Punk concert.

Interesting... but just CGI. When will a functioning prototype be viewable. Doesn't look like we are anywhere close to any Uncanny Valley issues ...

[levantos]

Nice CGI, thanks for this video and it's contribution to humanity.

[revisionfour]

This gives me Faraday Future vibes. Always chasing Tesla with concept videos but never having much tangible to show.

[fodiographer]

It looks so similar to Tesla’s Optimus Robot

[pyaephyo]

Who better? Sophia the legend, Ameca the Genius, Optimus, and Figure o

[zefSF]

Robotics in CGI works always very well.

[Josephptmk]

Why there is no prototype?
I am not saying this is fraud or anything but it is easy to build a prototype now.
Tesla built its prototype in less than a year.
Humanoid robots have great future.

When I see these metal hands I'm always thinking like "wow you could hit someone really hard with that" 😂

[straighttalk]

This company reminds me of Rivian because they saw a Tesla and Elon Musk product and are trying to produce an almost identical product.

[jp]

They just raised 70 million to build these

[Astra]

Loving the recent explosion in humanoid robots following Optimus. The future is going to be wild!

[Jamalfarmboy]

After seeing the real thing in the later videos it’s so obvious this one is cgi from the hand movement it’s so much more fluid

[davekk]

Remember, if its blue were fed if its red were dead

Been watching you for a year and whilst I just wanted this company around for the prototypes and to understand a different perspective or skillsets in building humanoid robots, I wonder with the progress that has been made over the last year if the company will falter or actually be able pull through with half of its deliverables and objectives propose. If this company ends up being acquired or merged with another competitor or it becomes a relative success and still able to stand on its own two feet for years down the road that's a win in my book. (better than a demonstrative ponzi scheme)
