Figure Unveils Next-Gen Conversational Humanoid Robot With 3X AI Computing For Fully Autonomous Tasks
NVIDIA News, Thursday, August 8th, 2024
Startup reveals new robot using NVIDIA Isaac Sim for synthetic data and generative AI models trained on NVIDIA accelerated computing for real-time inference.
Silicon Valley's Figure has taken the wraps off of its next-generation Figure 02 conversational humanoid robot that taps into NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA GPUs for fully autonomous tasks.
Figure said it recently tested Figure 02 for data collection and use-case training at BMW Group's Spartanburg, South Carolina, production line.
Figure 02 comes just 10 months after Figure launched the first version of its general-purpose humanoid robot. The company has accelerated its development timeline using NVIDIA Isaac Sim - a reference application built on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform - to design, train and test AI-based robots using synthetic data, as well as NVIDIA GPUs to train generative AI models.
