OpenAI and humanoid robot startup Figure have unveiled 'Figure 01', a robot equipped with ChatGPT created through collaboration. A video of humanoid robot figure 01, which talks and moves naturally, is a hot topic. It's like watching a science fiction movie about living with robots.

In the video, the silver sparkling Figure 01 and the host are standing across a table. Describe the environment as you see what is on the table. When the host asks if it's okay to eat an apple, he naturally delivers the apple. There are many objects, and among them, an apple that can be eaten by humans is delivered.

The facilitator passes the trash on the table and asks the participants to explain what they just did as they cleaned up the trash. Then Figure 01 replied, “I gave you apples because they were the only ones I could eat,” and also, “I should move the plates and cups to the dish drying rack.” When asked to evaluate his own actions, he stutters slightly like a human and replies, “I think I did a pretty good job.”

Figure is a company founded in 2022 by engineers from Boston Dynamics and Tesla. Figure 01 was released in March of last year and its development has continued to be shared. Recently, it has been revealed that people can use a coffee machine and even correct their own mistakes, and now they can even talk to people.

The combination of AI with robots has made visual interpretation, language understanding, logical reasoning, and even physical actions possible. ChatGPT, which was amazing because it spoke like a human, now includes human-like movements. I think that replacing human labor may be faster than we think. How can humans control radical, fundamental change?
