Part 5/13:
Figure AI showcased several tasks performed by Figure 3, including picking up cards, sorting objects, and household chores. While these demonstrations are promising, there is a clear distinction between proof-of-concept and real-world utility. Tasks like folding laundry were performed with noticeable imperfections—clothes piled messily, and handling that lacked finesse.
Similarly, attempts at cleaning—like wiping countertops with a cloth—appear simplistic and not yet at a level that would satisfy end-user expectations. These tasks, while demonstrating basic functionality, underscore that the robot is still in an early stage of development, with significant improvements needed before it becomes economically viable for widespread use.
