Fourier helps Meta develop a robot prototype, creating the “physical embodiment of Muse”

Titan Media App On November 1, related reports cited an insider revealing that Meta Platforms has jointly developed a humanoid robot prototype with the Chinese robotics company Fourier, with the internal code name “Max.” According to the description, this robot took three months to develop, stands approximately 1.5 meters tall, weighs about 48 kilograms, uses the NVIDIA Jetson Thor chip as its power core, and is equipped with an independent motion control software platform. It is worth mentioning that in September this year, the two companies began developing the second-generation prototype Max 2. The new version will redesign the torso structure, improve the hand mechanical structure to enhance manipulation precision, add a projector to support visual content presentation, and be equipped with additional sensors to achieve the function of going up and down stairs. Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth positioned the humanoid robot internally as the “physical embodiment” of the company's consumer-grade AI agent Muse, giving it the ability to perform actual tasks in home scenarios. An insider stated that the ultimate goal of the project is to launch a mature product for consumers, but a market launch timeline has not yet been set. (Wide Angle Observation)
