California-based robotics company Figure AI has introduced a humanoid robot capable of walking with human-like movements.
The breakthrough aims to enhance the robot’s adaptability for industrial and domestic applications by mimicking natural human locomotion, using reinforcement learning (RL) to learn through trial-and-error simulations.
The training process simulates thousands of virtual humanoids in parallel, achieving a human-like gait through an end-to-end neural network trained via RL in a high-fidelity physics simulator.
Figure AI's advancements in humanoid robotics position it as a competitor in the industry, and the company plans to scale production, manufacturing, and commercial deployment.
