Listen "Humanoid Robots—EP10"
Episode Synopsis
Figure is rapidly advancing the field of humanoid robotics through significant developments in both manufacturing capabilities and artificial intelligence. The company has established "BotQ," a high-volume manufacturing facility with an initial capacity of 12,000 robots per year, emphasizing vertical integration and the ambitious goal of using robots to build robots. Simultaneously, Figure has unveiled "Helix," a novel Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that enables their robots to understand natural language commands, perceive their environment, and perform complex tasks on demand, even with unfamiliar objects and in collaborative scenarios. A special thanks to my AI-generated co-hosts, Zain and Jayla.
