California-based robotics outfit Figure has today announced its second-generation humanoid robot, which is initially being aimed at production lines in commercial settings, but the company is promising a bipedal butler in our homes in the near future.

位于加州的机器人制造商 Figure 今天宣布了其第二代人形机器人，这款机器人最初被瞄准商业环境中的生产线，但该公司承诺在不久的将来，它将成为我们家庭中的双腿男管家。

Figure was founded in 2022 by entrepreneur Brett Adcock – of Vettery and Archer Aviation – with the aim of bringing a "commercially viable general purpose humanoid robot" to market. We caught up with Adcock last year, publishing a series of three interview pieces, and have followed the progress of its first robot from first steps to learning and performing tasks to joining BMW's workforce, and then gaining OpenAI chattiness.

Figure 由企业家 Brett Adcock（Vettery 和 Archer Aviation 的创始人）于 2022 年创立，旨在将“商业上可行的通用人形机器人”推向市场。我们去年采访了 Adcock，发布了一系列三篇访谈文章，并跟踪了其首个机器人的进展，从迈出第一步，到学习和执行任务，再到加入宝马的劳动力大军，然后获得 OpenAI 的聊天能力。

Figure says that its engineers have since undertaken a "ground-up hardware and software redesign" that includes upgrades to the AI systems, computer vision, the battery pack, electronics, sensors and actuators.

Figure 表示，自那以后，其工程师们已经进行了“彻底的硬件和软件重新设计”，包括升级人工智能系统、计算机视觉、电池组、电子元件、传感器和执行器。

Among the highlights shared are onboard microphones and speakers that cater for one-to-one conversations with humans, powered by custom AI models trained in collaboration with OpenAI. Does this mean that F.02 bots will become a best pal that you can share troubles or life stories with as well as a workmate to help the long day seem shorter thanks to quickfire banter? Possibly, but that's unlikely to be the main focus at present – you can maybe expect something akin to GPT exchanges initially though.

所分享的重点亮点之一是，内置麦克风和扬声器支持与人类进行一对一对话，由与 OpenAI 合作训练的定制 AI 模型提供支持。这是否意味着 F.02 机器人将成为您可以分享烦恼或生活故事的密友，也是帮助您让漫长工作日变得短暂的同事，因为可以迅速聊天？可能，但目前这可能不是主要重点——不过，您最初可能会期待类似 GPT 交互的东西。

Internal wiring for improved reliability, six RGB cameras to help the humanoid perceive and understand the physical world, and "common-sense visual reasoning" via an onboard vision language model

Figure has also cooked in something called a vision language model that will allow the humanoid to make sense of what is captured through the camera lenses and make decisions on what, if anything, needs to be done.

Figure 还内置了一个所谓的视觉语言模型，该模型将使人形机器人能够理解通过相机镜头捕捉到的内容，并决定是否需要采取任何行动。

As for the cameras themselves, the F.02 sports six RGB cameras that feed the physical world into its AI-driven vision system to help it understand what's what. These include two in its curved-panel animated face as well as an array around back. The robot also benefits from a 3x increase in computational power and AI inference chops compared to Gen1 that "enables real-world AI tasks to be performed fully autonomously."

至于相机本身，F.02配备了六个RGB摄像头，这些摄像头将物理世界的信息输入其AI驱动的视觉系统，以帮助它理解周围的事物。其中包括两个位于其曲面动画面板上的摄像头，以及背面的一系列摄像头。与第一代相比，该机器人的计算能力和AI推理能力提高了三倍，这使得“现实世界中的AI任务能够完全自主执行”。

Fabric covering here and there together with internal wiring make for a slick outer form wearing cool gun-metal gray. A promo video reveals shoulder joints with 50 Nm (36.8 lb.ft) of torque and a 148-degree range of motion, 150 Nm (110.6 lb.ft) at the knee and 135 degrees, and 150 Nm at the hip with a 195-degree range. And the new humanoid has been treated to the latest iteration of human-scale robot hands, enabling "a wide range of human-like tasks" thanks to 16 degrees of freedom and human-equivalent strength.

这里和那里的织物覆盖以及内部布线共同构成了光滑的外形，并采用了冷酷的枪灰色。一段宣传视频展示了具有50牛米（36.8磅英尺）扭矩和148度运动范围的肩关节，膝关节具有150牛米（110.6磅英尺）的扭矩和135度的运动范围，髋关节具有150牛米的扭矩和195度的运动范围。这款新的人形机器人配备了最新一代的人形机器人手，由于具有16个自由度且力量与人类相当，因此能够“执行各种类似人类的任务”。

Lastly, a new 2.25-kWh custom battery pack in the torso reportedly ups energy delivery by more than 50%, though actual per-charge runtime figures have not been shared at this point.

最后，躯干中采用的新型2.25千瓦时定制电池组据报道将能量传输提高了50%以上，但目前尚未公布每次充电的实际运行时间数据。

We recently saw some of the results of Figure 01's training regime as it learned to work at BMW's manufacturing facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The F.02 humanoid has also landed on the factory floor, spending the last few weeks "successfully inserted sheet metal parts into specific fixtures, which were then assembled as part of the chassis" as well as undertaking AI data collection and use case training.

我们最近看到了Figure 01在斯巴达克斯，南卡罗来纳州的宝马制造工厂接受训练的一些成果。F.02人形机器人也已经在工厂里亮相，在过去的几周里，“成功地将金属板零件插入到特定的夹具中，然后将这些零件组装成底盘的一部分”，同时还进行了AI数据收集和使用案例培训。

"Figure’s goal is to create robots that will not only enhance productivity and efficiency but also improve the quality of life for humans," said the company in a press statement. "The advanced capabilities of Figure 02 bring the company one step closer to achieving that vision."

该公司在一份新闻稿中表示：“Figure的目标是创造不仅能够提高生产力和效率，而且能够改善人类生活质量的机器人。‘Figure 02’的先进功能使公司离实现这一愿景又近了一步。”

We're hoping to learn more about the latest Figure humanoid shortly, when we'll share what we know. Meanwhile, the video below has more.

我们希望在不久的将来能够了解更多关于最新的人形机器人Figure的信息，届时我们将分享我们所知的一切。同时，下面的视频中有更多内容。
