Part 4/11:
Figure O2 is currently the most sophisticated humanoid robot globally, although competition is fierce. Companies like Elon Musk’s Tesla (with its Tesla Bot), Agility Robotics, and several Chinese enterprises are continuously enhancing their humanoids, improving agility, intelligence, and physicality every week.
Notable improvements include the robot’s dexterous hands, which now feature minimal bulk, a high degree of thumb movement, and exquisite engineering design — making the robot appear elegant rather than scary or uncanny. These physical advances are complemented by breakthroughs in cognitive function, including neural network communication, visual reasoning, and human-like decision-making, which are rapidly closing the gap between machines and humans in behavior and reasoning.
