Meta Partners with Fourier Robotics to Develop Internal Humanoid Robot Prototype
Meta被曝与中企合作开发机器人，称美国难以获取零部件
According to The Information citing sources, Meta has partnered with Shanghai-based Fourier Robotics to develop an internal prototype humanoid robot named Max within three months. The robot, approximately 1.5 meters tall and weighing about 48 kg, uses an NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform and features human-like facial expressions and dexterous hands capable of grasping small objects. Developed based on Fourier's prior generation hardware, the project aims to meet specific home interaction requirements such as voice recognition from 5 meters away and gesture understanding. Meta is also expanding its R&D and manufacturing roles in China. The collaboration focuses on internal research and experimentation, with no current plans to sell prototypes.
