Figure 02 is, for the moment, half an exciting robot, and you need only look as far as the new announcement video to understand why.
The video starts off promisingly enough. Figure AI's Figure 02 robot, a redesign of the original Figure 01, looks more human than ever. It has a smooth head and fabric-covered neck, the arms have lost most of their steampunk look, and the hands are complete with 10 expressive fingers and fluid movement. Even in full, Figure 02's narrow torso and slightly chunky legs could pass for a person from a distance.
