Meta's Secret Robot Unveiled: Developed in China Within Three Months

Mark Zuckerberg wants to take artificial intelligence off the screen and give it a real body. According to an investigation by The Information, the technology giant Meta partnered with a Chinese robotics company to develop a humanoid robot within just three months, capable of grasping small objects with its hands. The project, which has so far been kept out of the public eye, has already moved on to second‑generation development, even though the first robot has not yet been publicly unveiled. The robot, codenamed Max, was developed in collaboration with the Chinese company Fourier, which specializes in humanoid robots. According to the report, it stands about one and a half meters tall, weighs roughly 48 kilograms, and is equipped with hands that have five fingers, allowing it to lift small items such as bottles and toys. But the hands are only part of the story. Max is also designed to recognize voices from up to five meters away and hand gestures from three meters away. Its face incorporates eyes and a mouth intended to mimic human expressions, and two speakers are installed in its chest. At the heart of the system is an Nvidia Jetson Thor chip, intended for robotic systems and AI applications.
