Figure 03 is now running, with both feet in the air at the same time. It also looks incredibly smooth and agile: starting, stopping, and turning quickly.
a short video of his company’s Figure 03 robot running on Threads. While it’s a short clip, it’s very clearly showing quick acceleration, running, turning and deceleration. That’s significant, because one of the primary shortcoming of today’s humanoid robot s is speed.
Humanoid robot companies often hold the actual walking speeds of their robots very close to the vest, mostly because the numbers are often not impressive. Sanctuary AI hasa maximum speed of 3 miles per hour for its humanoid robot, Phoenix. That’s about the lower end of theof the Unitree H1 as well, although there’s considerable upward variability in that estimate. Agility Robotics’ Digit is around three to four miles per hour as well. Figure’sTurns out the company was sandbagging. Or perhaps recent development has been very successful indeed. Because, just by a very rough visual estimate, Figure 03 is moving at a much, much faster rate. Walking speed for a human is in the three to four mph range. Jogging, or slow running, is in the four to six mph range. Figure 03 – or perhaps 04, Adcock doesn’t specify – is at least in the upper end of the jogging range. We can be sure that this is the case because clearly, both of Figure 03’s feet are off the ground at the same time. In other words, this by definition running, not just fast walking. It’s also impressive to see the quick start, the rapid deceleration and the very smooth transition to facing back in the opposite direction.It’s clearly a robot, however, as you can see at the waist. Until I see better, I’m thinking this is the smoothest and fastest humanoid robot in the west. There are some Chinese companies that promise significantly high speeds, but I have not personally seen them. Boston Dynamics of course has Atlas as well, which is quite fast, but I’m not sure it fits in the same category as a robot that
