Blindly/stupidly believing a company's press release is not news!
"You can see it for yourself. Figure AI’s next generation “Figure 03” humanoid robot ..."
Ok, stop right there. Humanoid robots are at least a decade away from being able to safely interact with humans. Real/actual robotics experts (see some talks on YouTube from the Roomba founder for instance) will tell you as much.
There's a reason why all the demos you see of humanoids rarely have humans nearby (and when they do, the whole thing is carefully choreographed). It's because one errant movement from these robots can decapitate or seriously injure a human! This is not a solved problem!
So either a single small start-up company has overcome a hurdle no other robotics company in the world has (and, again, what experts say is still a decade or more away) ... or shock a startup oversold their capabilities to get customers/investors ... and some poor sap actually believed them.
