## Summary

Meta partnered with Chinese robotics company Fourier to complete a humanoid robot prototype named Max in just three months, and has already started development of a second-generation Max 2. Max is about 1.5 meters tall and weighs about 48 kilograms, is equipped with Nvidia's Jetson Thor chip, is customized based on Fourier's GR-series hardware, and needs to recognize voices from 5 meters away and gestures from 3 meters away. Meta says the collaboration is for internal research and experimentation only, with no sales plans, but it is recruiting for supplier development and product design roles in Shanghai and Shenzhen.
