Figure announced during its deployment in January that the robots would undergo training for twelve to twenty-four months. After this training period, they will be integrated into the facility with the precise skills required for each task.
That’s a pretty long training period. I wonder if any of the training data is reusable if the assembly process changes slightly?
Figure aims to create a global model that can manage billion-unit humanoid robots. The company points out that there are about 10 million unsafe or undesirable jobs in the US alone.
Not sure how I feel about 10M workers being dismissed over time… the robot itself is really impressive regardless
