In the future, AI robots will look like us and even take up tasks and complete them with incredible precision and efficiency. Now with new AI-powered humanoid robots in the market, this future seems rather near. The new Figure 02 is normalizing the integration of AI robotics in the manufacturing field and extending it beyond that. These machines are trained and are able to adapt and handle tasks that seem impossible to humans. They could reshape the industry by pushing the limits of human strength, thus taking the manufacturing industries to the next level.
The Figure AI robotics and BMW collaborate on making advancements on the AI robot called Figure 02. With the latest improvements, the robot has achieved a 400% increase in speed and 7x improvements in success rate.
The latest video of Figure 02 shows that it performs 1,000 replacements in a day, which is indicative of the future improvements in the field of robotics. The robot demonstrates its precision and skill in the sheet metal insertion. This task required a high level of accuracy, but the robot performed it 1000 times a day, showing its future potential.
The test collab between BMW and Figure AI sparked the debate of the future integration of Figure 02 into the production facility of BMW, yet they have not confirmed any future collaborations yet. They are planning to bring in Figure 02 to the facility by 2025, but it has yet to be confirmed. Thus creating the seamless production unit with robots that tackle mountain tasks, which otherwise take up a large portion of the manufacturing time.
