Figure will integrate additional sensors (infrared, ultraviolet, etc.) into future humanoids.

Figure will integrate additional sensors (infrared, ultraviolet, etc.) into future humanoids. | And then you can add infrared, ultraviolet, you can add all kinds of additional sensors into the system. Yeah, for sure. I mean, we have it now.

Watch events: Figure 03 shipment volume; BMW, 2nd customer deployment count

And then you can add infrared, ultraviolet, you can add all kinds of additional sensors into the system. Yeah, for sure. I mean, we have it now.
