Part 2/13:
The first reaction from industry insiders highlights a notable shift in design philosophy. Unlike previous prototypes relying heavily on 3D printing, Figure 3 is engineered for mass manufacturing using traditional manufacturing techniques such as injection molding and tool-and-die processes. This shift indicates their aim to lower costs and improve scalability.
The robot features updated clothing, improved hands, and integrated inductive charging capabilities. The inclusion of AI that can interpret video actions and language signifies a move toward more sophisticated interactions and autonomous decision-making. These advancements suggest a focus on practical deployment for commercial purposes—ranging from industrial roles to service tasks.
