Well, friends, humanoid robots will soon be among us! The first such robot, called Figure-1, is under active development and has already been shown online. The well-known company Open AI, which owns the ChatGPT artificial intelligence technology, is working on the creation of this work. It is on the basis of this system that the Figure-1 robot operates.
Humanoid work with ChatGPT will be among us very soon
Open AI is not developing a humanoid robot on its own: the company has entered into an agreement with the startup Figure AI, and the idea of creating the first general-purpose robot belongs to entrepreneur Brett Adcock.
Not only Open AI, but also world-famous companies such as NVIDIA, Intel, Microsoft, Tesla, Google Deep Mind, Archer Aviation and Boston Dynamics have joined the project. Funding was raised at $675 million at a valuation of $2.6 billion. Do you even have any idea of the scale of the project? And it has already brought its fruits.
In October 2023, the Figure-1 robot was demonstrated performing various basic tasks, and in January of this year, the first commercial contract was signed for the use of the robot at the BWM automobile plant in North Carolina.
The other day a new video appeared in which Figure-1 conducts a dialogue with a person, answers questions asked, analyzes the surrounding space and carries out commands. And all this in real time: just a kind of conscious conversation with the machine.
This makes us understand that in the near future there will be many more of these robots, and they will actually perform some useful tasks in production and other places where there are not enough people.
The creators of the project hope that thanks to these machines it will be possible to eliminate the shortage of workers in dangerous and unfavorable jobs.
We will continue to monitor the development of the Figure-1 project. What do you think about the development of humanoid robots?
