The weights of current robots receiving media attention include: Figure AI’s Figure 02 weighs 70 kg (154.324 lbs), Tesla’s Optimus Gen 2 weighs 57 kg (125.663 lbs), 1X Technologies’ Neo weighs 25 kg (55.1 lbs), the Unitree G1 weighs 35 kg (77.162 lbs), and Clone Robotics’ Clone Alpha weighs 68 kg (149.914 lbs).
Punyo, from Toyota Research Institute, takes the approach that “Toyota’s future home robots should be safe, capable, and a pleasure to work alongside.” The Punyo Robot is considered a soft robot with a rigid frame covered in air-filled bladders. Specific details regarding its weight have not been released.
For in-home robot safety, Toyota’s approach seems to be the most appropriate. The approaches taken by Figure, Tesla, 1X Technologies, Unitree, and Clone Robotics appear more suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
