Here’s The Second Humanoid Robot To Get A Paying Job

31 months after incorporating, Figure is shipping its second model, Figure 02, to commercial clients according to a LinkedIn post by CEO Brett Adcock. Figure therefore joins Agility Robotics’ robot, Digit, as two of the only humanoid robotics companies on the planet to be putting their robots to work in paying clients’ warehouses and factories. “It’s official: F.02 humanoid robots have arrived at our commercial customer,” Adcock says. “The robots are connecting to the network and performing pre-checks this morning.” That’s extremely quick change in the emerging robot wars: just two months ago Agility Robotics CEO Peggy Johnson told me Agility was the only humanoid robotics company getting paid to do work. Figure o2 is a 5’6” tall humanoid robot that ways 155 pounds. It can carry 44 pounds, work for five hours before needing to recharge, and walk at just under three miles per hour. It has hands that can open doors and use tools, the company says, and it can climb stairs, lift boxes, “and more.” Figure 02 ships in a roughly coffin-sized foam-lined box.
