German automotive giant BMW and robotics company Figure AI‘s collaboration is preparing to revolutionize automotive production. As a result of the partnership of the two companies, Figure AI’s humanoid robots have been working at BMW’s production facility for a while. In recent months, the company’s most advanced robot Figure 02 He also started working at the facility again. In the recent update, Figure 02 is now four times faster It was announced that he was working.

According to the statement made by the company, Figure 02, 400 percent speed increase ve 7 times higher success rate rate It doubled its performance on the production line. Figure has released a new video showing the capabilities of the humanoid robot. Bred Adcock, founder and CEO of Figure, said that the humanoid robot 1,000 pieces per day He said he placed it. Adcock said that as more robots are deployed and therefore collect more data, artificial intelligence models will further develop and thus the work capacity will increase.

The video also shows the humanoid robot placing a high-precision sheet metal onto a pin post less than 1 cm wide. Adcock said the use case is extremely difficult to deploy autonomously with a high degree of reliability. He also emphasized that the processing time should be shortened by four minutes, reducing the robot’s margin of error to zero in this process.

Adcock, “This task was at least ten times more difficult than the stationary tabletop manipulation tasks we have demonstrated previously,” he said. The robot was able to grasp difficult-to-control metal parts with great precision and place them successfully without hitting the fixing points.

BMW and Figure AI started their collaboration earlier this year and carried out the first tests at the BMW factory in Spartanburg. Figure 02 It was introduced about 3 months ago. Figure 02, whose hardware and software were completely redesigned, made advances in critical technologies such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, batteries, electronics, sensors and actuators. Figure 02 has the ability to speak to humans in natural language through built-in microphones and speakers connected to custom AI models trained in partnership with OpenAI. The robot’s human-scale hands have 16 degrees of freedom, enabling a wide variety of human-like tasks.
