Core Viewpoint - Figure has launched the F03 battery, the third generation of its internal energy platform designed for humanoid robots, which provides 2.3 kWh of energy and enables up to five hours of peak performance runtime. This battery is the first in the humanoid robot sector to receive both UN38.3 and UL2271 safety certifications [1][2]. Battery Innovation Highlights - The F03 battery features an active cooling system integrated into the die-cast shell, allowing for safe and rapid charging at 2 kW. It includes a custom battery management system (BMS) to manage thermal loads and prevent overcharging, overheating, or short circuits. Multiple safety measures are implemented, including thermal insulation materials and internal fuses [2]. - Figure is collaborating with UL to establish new safety certification standards for humanoid robot batteries, which will meet a series of 23 mechanical, thermal, and electrical tests outlined in UL2271 [2]. Production and Manufacturing - The production of the F03 battery utilizes large-scale manufacturing methods such as die-casting, injection molding, stamping, and immersion coating, enabling Figure to achieve an annual production target of up to 12,000 humanoid robot units [3]. - The production process is supported by enterprise-level systems, including ERP, MES, PLM, and warehouse management tools. Figure has expanded its team to 293 employees to meet manufacturing goals [5]. Competitive Landscape - Figure, founded in 2022, has raised $2.34 billion, with a current valuation of $2.6 billion. The company is in competition with Tesla and other developers in the humanoid robot space [6]. - The humanoid robots "Figure 01" and "Figure 02" have been deployed in BMW's Spartanburg factory, enhancing logistics efficiency through the proprietary robot control system "Helix" [6]. Future Outlook - Figure aims to triple its robot production from July to September, reflecting confidence in technological advancements and market demand. The BotQ factory is designed for high-volume production, with the first generation capable of producing 12,000 robots annually [9][10]. - The company is focusing on optimizing manufacturing processes and has established new teams for safety and reliability, ensuring that robots meet longevity and reliability standards [13][14].

1、 人形机器人亮相音乐节 在中国VOYAGEX音乐节上，一个类人机器人成为焦点，这个由PNDbotics开发的全尺寸机器人名为Ada m，以键盘手的身份吸引观众的目光，并与中国著名音乐家胡宇桐的乐队一起表演，展现了机器人技术的 惊人融合。该公司在YouTube上发布的视频描述中表示："这标志着我们在技术创新和艺术探索方面的一 次全新尝试。PNDbotics从未停止用新的尝试突破界限。"在视频中，一个全尺寸的人形机器人亚当（Ada m）站在舞台中央，肩上扛着一块白色键盘吉他。它动作流畅，如同人类，有节奏地敲击琴键，左右摇 摆。它的手指精准地按压音符，而机器人的上半身则随着节拍轻轻旋转。亚当偶尔会在重复乐段之间停 顿，然后随着旋律的推进而保持专注。 DeepMind 近期探索了自我提升的乒乓球智能体，试图让智能体通过与自己比赛来学习。研究人员尝试让 两个机械臂互相打乒乓球，当一个机器人发现更好的策略时，它的对手就会被迫适应并改进，从而形成一 个技能水平不断提升的循环。研究者认为，乒乓球囊括了机器人技术在受限却高度动态的环境中面临的诸 多最艰巨的挑战。乒乓球要求机器人掌握一系列高难度技能：除了感知能力之外，它还需 ...
