A Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing factory in Hungary is using humanoid robots to help with human staffing shortages on the factory floor.

Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson reveals how Figure's robot shows advanced manufacturing skills at BMW plant.

Robot grippers and suction cups can pick and place items, but more dexterous tasks such as assembly, insertion, reorientation, packaging, etc. have remained in the realm of human manipulation.

For example, more capable robotic hands could be useful in computer assembly where assembling microchips requires a level of precision that currently only human hands can achieve.

But in the field of 2D materials, which is considered one of the most exciting areas for future electronics, scientists still have to laboriously hand-make each new potential material before they can ...
