ChatGPT-powered humanoid robot demonstrates tasks and provides food

In this tech era, you may occasionally watch high-tech feature films that seem futuristic. However, with the rapid pace of innovation, what once seemed like mere imagination is now becoming possible in real life.

For instance, a company called Figure has introduced its latest creation, Figure 01, a humanoid robot powered by ChatGPT.

In a video presentation, Figure demonstrated Figure 01's remarkable abilities.

Equipped with camera eyes and ChatGPT's AI features, this robot showcased impressive visual recognition skills by accurately describing objects and people around it.

The founder of Figure, Brett Adcock, revealed that OpenAI provides visual reasoning and language understanding, while Figure's neural networks enable quick and precise robot actions.

The video showcased Figure 01 on the X platform, where it performed tasks like handing over an apple and picking up trash, demonstrating speech recognition, contextual understanding, and motor skills.

Regarding the technical details of Figure 01, they remain undisclosed, but what stands out are its human-like speech and movements, which are captivating and impressive.

The demo video displayed Figure 01 multitasking with trash and an apple, responding appropriately when asked for something to eat.

The founder confirmed that the demo was entirely driven by neural networks without any teleoperation, and filmed at normal speed.

While the full potential of Figure 01 is yet to be realised, the early demo has already generated significant interest among technology enthusiasts.
