A humanoid robot has shown off how it could be useful around the home — by neatly folding a pile of freshly washed towels.
The US company behind the artificial intelligence powered Figure 02 wanted to show how dextrous the machine is.
It is being developed to help tackle a labour shortage by doing more menial factory and warehouse tasks.
Maker Figure AI says the bot is the “ highest performing humanoid on the market.“
It is said to be the result of a ground-up hardware and software redesign in just 10 months following the unveiling of predecessors Figure 01.
The 167 cm tall bot is capable of speech-to-speech conversation with humans through onboard mics and speakers connected to custom AI models trained in partnership with OpenAI.?
There is also an onboard vision language model that is said to enable “fast common-sense visual reasoning” from robot cameras.
The towel folding exercise showed off its human-scale hands equipped with 16 degrees of freedom.?? An engineer is seen dumping a pile of towels on a table and asks Figure to fold them for him.
The robot gives him the thumbs up and replies:” Sure thing, I’ll get right on that.”
It then proceeded to sort them one by one, lay them out flat and then fold them first in half longways then doubles them over before putting them into a basket.

Is the towel skirt really the latest fashion trend?
Fashion is art, and art is subjective. But the towel skirt from the spring/summer 2024 collection of the Spanish fashion house Balenciaga takes the luxury biscuit: a unisex, terry cotton, beige towel skirt - literally a towel with belt, buttons and an embroidered logo.
It is now available for pre-order for £695.
Balenciaga, under the creative director, Demna Gvasalia, has been a pioneer of the kind of high-fashion that seems intent on trolling us. He has a reputation for subversion and a bull-in-a-china-shop disregard for convention.
Rich Pelley pays a visit to John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, to see if he can turn a £15 ultra soft cotton caramel bath towel into a designer towel skirt just by wrapping it around his waist.
Rich Pelley with the artist Pandemonia, trying to look cool at the opening of Richard Ansett's new book on the Artist Grayson Perry at the Iconic Images Gallery in London Rich Pelley wearing a towel he bought at John lewis for £15. A similar towel by Balenciaga costs £800 or more and is made to be worn by the stylish man as well as for post bath or shower duties.
