Telegram reports citing The Information say Meta and Chinese robotics startup Fourier developed a humanoid prototype internally codenamed Max. The reported development period was three months, and the prototype weighs approximately 106 pounds.
A fuller accompanying message says Meta is working on robots for household settings and has already begun developing a second generation. It describes the prototype as a development platform for Meta’s robotics team, rather than a commercially available product.
The same report says Meta views humanoid robots as physical embodiments of its Muse agent, with household tasks as the intended application. It does not provide demonstrated task results, autonomy metrics, payload specifications, compute hardware, or battery performance.
No commercial launch date has been set in the supplied reporting. The information is attributed to reporting and unnamed sources, not to a supplied Meta or Fourier product announcement.
