Meta Built Humanoid Prototype With Chinese Startup To Ramp Up Robotics Push

Meta Platforms has developed a 106-pound humanoid prototype called Max in collaboration with Chinese startup Fourier. The project, completed in three months, aims to advance Meta's robotics push for future home products, with a second version already in development. While no official launch date is set, the initiative highlights Meta's strategy of integrating AI and software into hardware. This US-China tech collaboration may face scrutiny as Meta seeks to redefine current industry dynamics.
