His “colleague” Figure 01 is already working in the BMW factory. Now, Figure 02, the most modern robot in the world, is set to arrive.
Next week, the US robot company Figure plans to present the “most advanced humanoid robot in the world” to date, as the company announced. The robot manufacturer, which is working with ChatGPT maker OpenAI, published a promotional video on YouTube on Saturday.
This shows the improved version of his model Figure 02. Not much is revealed there yet. But some things are shown that concern the mechanics of the new model: According to the video, the new robot will be made from a 3D printed mesh and could be particularly advanced and agile Joints In addition, the device is said to have torque values of 150 Newton meters and a range of motion of up to 195 degrees. The video shows the new robot, whose “colleague” Figure 01 already working in a BMW plant, look very promising.”
This is what the new foot can do
At the beginning of the video, a new foot design is introduced that makes the improved robot safer and human-like You can also see the foot from the side, where its shape is reminiscent of a human foot. It is therefore conceivable that you could even put shoes on the robot.
However, the rear part no longer has much in common with the human foot: between the heel and the ankle there is a gapthe one rotational movement This allows the robot to walk in a human-like manner.
Hand with soft fingertips
The hand with 5 fingers is shown in detail in the video. The new hand is more reminiscent of a human hand. It has been completely redesigned and equipped with sensors, cables and new mechanical details. The robot has studsthat could give it a more secure grip. The video suggests that the robot can act very skillfully and quickly.
Die 3D printed mesh structure could in turn enable the robot to switch between movement and standstill more quickly. It also makes handling safer for humans as it prevents people from getting trapped.
The new video also reveals something about the Kopf of the robot, which will probably have a display. This could show the battery life. The robot will also possibly be able to communicate with people.”
