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. [...] While valued for its adaptability, multi-purpose functionality, and ability to integrate into existing brownfield warehouses, the humanoid form factor introduces a new set of safety concerns. After all, one of the category’s key selling points is its ability to work alongside humans. Their big, metal bodies — ranging freely inside factories and warehouses — have the potential to cause injuries by colliding with their softer, fleshier colleagues. [...] 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.
