Honda built the ASIMO robot for social interaction, but it has been retired in 2022 after working for 22 years. Many people expressed their reluctance to part with it! As for the Figure 02 "Digital 2" humanoid robot that BMW is very interested in, it has already been put into trial operation in the BMW factory. It will become a 24-hour standby worker and "maybe" assemble the BMW X5 series together with other production line operators. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLVm-QKEZSI) Figure 02 is definitely a love-hate combination for other vehicle assembly workers! The pleasant thing is that Figure 02 will be responsible for more dangerous and heavy-duty tasks, including sheet metal forming or welding operations that are serious occupational hazards. For ordinary assembly workers, it is equivalent to a lot less drudgery, but the hidden worry is of course that it will replace the ordinary workers. One thing, the issue of unemployment will definitely be widely discussed. But in terms of efficiency, humans are currently better than Figure 02, but Figure 02 does not need to eat, smoke, take a lunch break, get off work, skip work, ask for leave, yawn, or go to the toilet. It only requires basic maintenance and charging.

BMW stated that Figure 02 is still in the development and testing stage. Even if the testing process goes smoothly and satisfactorily, and there is no doubt that its response, accuracy, monitoring, and efficiency have all passed smoothly, there are currently no humanoid robots on the production line, and there will be no Figure in the future. 02 official start timetable, and there is still a big, big difference between Figure 02 and the Terminator T-800 "Arnold"-shaped bionic skin battle robot! It is estimated that it may take more than a hundred years for the T-800 to start wiping out the human race. As for the evolution to the T-1000 or T-X liquid robot, it is too far-fetched and impossible to evaluate! Not to mention the possibility of the existence of the 2-in-1 "liquid + combat figure" Rev-9 ultimate killer... In short, there is no need to worry that Figure 02 will start to exterminate humans after the development is completed! In addition, the Figure 02 robot focuses on production line operations rather than AI artificial intelligence. Figure 02 is not a robot developed by BMW, but a product of cooperation between BMW and Figure. Personally, I think Figure 02 looks friendlier than a dog-shaped robot, but its movements are inevitably a bit funny. In addition, considering issues such as cost, consumption and maintenance, it seems that currently It is more cost-effective to hire ordinary workers.
