Figure 02’s specs are here. I think I’m beginning to see a future where everyone has a personalized robot assistant and they’ll come in all shapes and sizes. It is not impossible nor improbable for me at this point in time.
At least they can make good sandwiches.

An Anthropic scientist broke their hand while riding a bike and they used Claude (and voice) to still manage their productivity.
I’m very interested in the use of AI in the medical world, especially as my parents get much older and need more help. Anything is better than documentation these days.
