Robotics is advancing towards “embodiment” and learning formulas that allow machines to be developed with aspects and behaviors typical of people. Figure 01 is the closest prototype to the humanoid that science fiction had anticipated.

The robot is capable of discerning objects not only by their shape but by their functionality. It can also carry out various tasks by adjusting its movements to the resistance of what it manipulates, interact with the environment and even evaluate its performance.. The commitment of large companies to this technology is clear. Nvidia, in addition to its financial support for Figure, has announced GR00T, a specific platform for humanoid robots, in whose development there is an accelerated race in which companies such as 1X Technologies, Agility Robotics, Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Figure, among others, participate. The company defends its appearance because “the human world is designed for it’s appearance,” says founder of RoMeLa and creator of Artemis, an android robot that plays soccer.
