META REPORTEDLY BUILT A HUMANOID ROBOT PROTOTYPE THAT CAN DO HOUSEHOLD CHORES

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Meta's Max robot is designed to help out around people's homes. The prototype was built with the help of a Chinese robotics company in roughly three months. Powered by Nvidia's Jetson Thor chips, the robot weighs roughly 106 pounds and is about 1.5 meters tall, and has a display that can show facial expressions, a built-in speaker, and hands designed to pick up small objects. Meta is already working on a second prototype with updates to the design of the robot's torso and hands, as well as a projector and additional sensors to help it handle stairs better.
