Meta and China's Fourier Partner to Build Humanoid Robot 'Max'

Meta Platforms has reportedly collaborated with Chinese robotics company Fourier to develop a prototype humanoid robot named 'Max' in just three months. The robot, weighing 106 pounds and standing nearly five feet tall, runs on Nvidia's Jetson Thor chip and features five-fingered hands and a screen for a face. This initiative aims to integrate Meta's AI technology into physical applications, potentially positioning it as a competitor in the growing humanoid robot market. Work on a second version, Max 2, is already underway, with plans for enhanced features like improved hands and additional sensors.
