In an adaptation of the 1984 film Terminator by James Cameron, characters Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor exchange words that epitomize the relentless threat posed by the killer cyborg. Reese, sent from the future to protect Connor, explains the unwavering nature of the Terminator. The dialogue emphasizes the Terminator’s lack of mercy, remorse, or fear, portraying it as an unstoppable force intent on eliminating its target.
Drawing parallels to this iconic scene, a recent video shared by Brett Adcock, the founder of the American startup Figure AI, showcases the indomitable robot Figure 02. Adcock describes the robot as “unstoppable” in response to the new update of the AI system governing the humanoid robot. The video features Figure 02 navigating an obstacle course unscathed before confidently walking on an asphalt road, exhibiting a Terminator-like determination and pride.
While the robot’s demeanor may evoke memories of Cameron’s Terminator, it serves as a testament to Figure’s humanoid robots’ advanced capabilities. In recent weeks, these robots have not only managed laundry tasks but have also demonstrated skills like folding clothes with precision. This progress highlights the evolving prowess of humanoid robots, ushering in a new era of technological advancements that blur the line between fiction and reality.
