    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.

The umbrella was commissioned by Italy’s leading ice-cream and frozen-desserts brand, Sammontana.It invited international design and innovation firm CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and architect Italo Rota to develop a project that puts forward a more sustainable vision for the beach resorts of tomorrow. The folding photovoltaic array was designed in collaboration with US professor Chuck Hoberman who specialises in “transformable design”.It was inspired by aerospace technologies to generate power, which is then used for refrigeration and cooling. The first prototypes of the beach umbrella will be showcased in of Milan, Italy, from June 12th.

    A beach umbrella that uses the sun’s energy to keep a mini-fridge of food and drink cool, is hoping to make summer in the sun more comfortable.The parasol has foldable photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity for refrigeration and cooling. The umbrella was commissioned by Italy’s leading ice-cream and frozen-desserts brand, Sammontana.It invited international design and innovation firm CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and architect Italo Rota to develop a project that puts forward a more sustainable vision for the beach resorts of tomorrow. The folding photovoltaic array was designed in collaboration with US professor Chuck Hoberman who specialises in “transformable design”.It was inspired by aerospace technologies to generate power, which is then used for refrigeration and cooling. The first prototypes of the beach umbrella will be showcased in of Milan, Italy, from June 12th.
