Figure 02 Humanoid robot uses OpenAI's natural language conversation function

According to reports, Figure has launched its latest humanoid robot, Figure 02. This robot is an upgraded version of the Figure 01 robot released in 2023. A new preview video shows that the robot is walking slowly on the floor of Figure's office, and two robots are carrying suitcases. In addition, the robot is equipped with speakers and microphones so that it can have conversations with humans. The most eye-catching new member this time is the long-term cooperation with OpenAI, which helped Figure complete a $675 million Series B financing in February this year, bringing the valuation of the South Bay company to $2.6 billion.
