Meta has built a roughly 106-pound humanoid robot with Chinese robotics company Fourier, and is already working on a second version, The Information reports, citing people familiar with the initiative.
Why it mattersThe prototype, known internally as Max, was reportedly built in three months as Meta explores robots for people’s homes. There is no launch target, so this is a development effort, not a product announcement. It is a concrete AI-and-robotics move from a company looking beyond screens.
Discuss: How much should a working prototype count as progress when there is still no timeline for a product?
