Figure 2.0 robot perfectly sorts packages at BMW factory
The director of FigureAI company presented a new video demonstrating the capabilities of the Figure 2.0 robot, and the results are impressive. Footage, presumably shot at the BMW production site where the company’s humanoid robots have been undergoing “internship” in real conditions since last year, demonstrates a stunning level of autonomy and precision.
In the video, the humanoid independently scans, processes and sorts packages of various sizes without any human intervention. Particularly impressive is the lightning-fast decision-making speed and extraordinary smoothness of the robot’s movements. It practically makes no pauses between operations, which dramatically increases productivity.
Special attention deserves the delicacy of object manipulations. The robot’s hands work with such precision and care that were previously considered unattainable for mechanical systems. This demonstration clearly shows how far robotics technologies combined with artificial intelligence have advanced.
An interesting detail: the video appeared just an hour after one of the skeptical commentators told the startup’s creator that “this will NEVER work with an arbitrary batch of packages”. The visual response to critics turned out to be more eloquent than any words and once again confirmed the technology’s potential for transforming production processes.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
Google company released a report on Health AI Agents of 150 pages. That's 7,000 annotations, over 1,100 hours of expert work. Link in description. Numbers impressive, yes. But the point isn't in metrics. The point is they buried the very idea of an omnipotent AI doctor. And this is perhaps the most honest thing that happened in this industry recently.
You know what's considered a fun prank among teenagers now? Sending parents a photo of a homeless vagrant in their own living room. AI draws it, TikTok approves it, and let parents have hysteria. That's the kind of fun going around social media.
California became the first state to officially shut up AI companion chatbots. Governor Gavin Newsom signed a historic law that requires operators of such bots to implement safety protocols.
Elon Musk decided his artificial intelligence got bored without work. And now xAI company will engage in creating virtual worlds. Moreover, not just beautiful pictures, but real simulations. Where objects interact with each other according to physical laws. They'll start, of course, with games - where would we be without them in 2025.
Imagine. A plane crashed, everyone died except one person. The worst aviation disaster in 10 years. And here 2 engineers from India say they figured out how to prevent this. Giant airbags controlled by artificial intelligence that will wrap a falling plane in a protective cocoon. Sounds like science fiction? And they're already nominated for the James Dyson Award.
