Figure AI details plan to improve humanoid robot safety in the workplace | TechCrunch
“We recognize that the general population is often at the mercy of the technology experts to judge whether an AI-controlled robot can be safe,” Gruendel wrote. “We want to speak directly with our customers. We will test and communicate the robot’s stability while stationary, stability while moving, detection of humans, detection of four-legged pets, safe AI behaviors, and navigation to prevent injury. We will listen to suggestions from our customers on ways to test the safety of Figure 02 and beyond.” Boston Dynamics' Atlas in action Figure plans to publish quarterly updates offering more transparency around the process. The reports will include testing procedures and fixes for potential hazards. “We will summarize our successes and failures,” according to Gruendel. [...] Safety is often overlooked in the rush to bring humanoid robots to the workplace. As high-profile corporations ranging from retailers like Amazon to carmakers such as Mercedes and BMW have announced humanoid pilots for factories and warehouses, conversations around worker safety are regularly buried beneath industry hype. One Bay Area robotics firm is hoping to correct that shortfall. Figure AI announced Tuesday it is building a Center for the Advancement of Humanoid Safety, an in-house division wholly focused on the topic. Rob Gruendel, the former Amazon Robotics safety engineer who is heading up the project, revealed the plans via a LinkedIn post. [...] Agility Robotics Digit at GXO Fetch founder, Melonee Wise, has made the topic of humanoid safety a key focus since joining Agility Robotics as chief technology officer in 2023. “With any humanoid robot operating in this space, safety is not clear,” Wise told me during a humanoids panel at last year’s Automate conference. “There isn’t an easy stop for [Tesla’s] Optimus. There isn’t a stop on many [humanoid robots], and that is against the safety standard. It’s very clear that many of the companies are not interested in it.” The creation of the Center for the Advancement of Humanoid Safety is an important step on that journey for Figure.
