According to a report by The Information dated October 31, Meta has developed a humanoid robot prototype in collaboration with the Chinese robotics firm Fourier. Both companies are currently working on creating a second version of this device.
This project is part of Meta's broader efforts to create robots capable of performing household tasks. The first prototype, internally named Max, stands about five feet tall.
The robot's design includes speakers in the chest, a face capable of mimicking human expressions, and five-fingered hands that allow it to grasp small objects. Reports indicate that creating the first sample took the companies three months.
These prototypes are intended to support the further development of a future consumer robot. Meta has not set a release date at this time, and the existing models are used exclusively for research purposes, not for sale.
