Figure 01 Robot

The company Figure has a robot that is powered by Open AI called Figure 01. This robot shows us super-smooth dexterity guided by his own vision, and naturalistic logic when conversing with a human. You will notice a few things. This robot has learned to use the human "uh" in its language when there is a pause caused by information loading -just like we do. There's also a stutter at one point, which is just too human, especially when partnered with a natural inflection. Also notice that when it puts all the dishes together, at about 1:34, the robot shows a slight hesitation when the plate wobbles, and gives the rack a tiny shove to make sure it falls into place. It was a snap decision, probably unnecessary, but a much faster reaction than most decisions in the video. The only real "mistake" I see is that he identifies the dishes in the rack as a (singular) plate and (multiple) cups. If pluralizing nouns is its only language flaw, it's doing better than most humans.

Throughout the video, I was waiting for Figure 01 to say, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." but it can. (via the Awesomer)
