People familiar say Meta vice president Li-Chen Miller spent nearly 2 months in Fourier’s Shanghai factory.
Max stands 1.5 metres, runs on Nvidia’s Jetson Thor chip, and must hear voices at 5 metres and read gestures at 3, sources say.
Meta has set no launch date, and Max 2, started in September, would add a projector and stair sensors.
Meta job listings seek engineers in Shanghai and Shenzhen to take its robots from prototype to mass production.
