THE FUTURE IS HERE

UPS Eyes Figure AI’s Humanoid Robots for Next-Gen Automation #Figure02 #FigureAI #UPS #NVDAStock

UPS and Figure AI first began having discussions about a partnership last year and restarted the talks in recent months about a potential partnership involving humanoid robots.

UPS and FedEx use robots in their operations, but neither has deployed humanoid robots yet.

Figure AI unveiled its next-generation robot, Figure 02, in August 2024.

Figure 02 is equipped with integrated cabling, a torso battery, Nvidia RTX GPU-based computing, a custom OpenAI-powered conversational model, along with redesigned hands that offer 16 degrees of freedom and can lift up to 25 kilograms.

Figure 02 has been tested in real-world industrial settings, such as a BMW plant.
