Meta has reportedly developed a humanoid robot prototype named Max in collaboration with Chinese robotics company Fourier. The Information reported that this prototype is capable of performing household chores. The development of Max marks a significant step in Meta's robotics efforts. The Information also mentioned that a second version of the humanoid robot is currently underway. ## What is on file, and what is not Three bands, split by what the source is rather than by what it says. The band a piece of coverage lands in comes from a public registry of the domain that published it, not from any reading of the article. ### ["Meta Built Humanoid Prototype With Chinese Startup To Ramp Up Robotics Push"](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meta-built-humanoid-prototype-chinese-startup-ramp-robotics-push) ### ["I built an AI Tamagotchi before Meta could"](https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/1013375/muse-charm-gadgets-preview-waveshare-esp32-claude-vibe-code) ### ["Meta builds humanoid robot with Chinese startup Fourier, The Information says"](https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/meta-builds-humanoid-robot-chinese-startup-fourier-information-says-6509811) ### ["The Information Reports Meta Built a Humanoid Prototype With Fourier; Version Two Underway"](https://econotimes.com/The-Information-Reports-Meta-Built-a-Humanoid-Prototype-With-Fourier-Version-Two-Underway-1767775) ### ["Meta builds humanoid robot with Chinese startup Fourier, The Information says"](https://www.933thedrive.com/2026/10/31/meta-builds-humanoid-robot-with-chinese-startup-fourier-the-information-says/) ### ["Meta builds humanoid robot with Chinese startup Fourier, The Information says"](https://www.thestar.com.my/tech/tech-news/2026/11/01/meta-builds-humanoid-robot-with-chinese-startup-fourier-the-information-says) ### ["Meta builds prototype humanoid robot Max with Chinese partner: What to know"](https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1422023-meta-builds-prototype-humanoid-robot-max-with-chinese-partner-what-to-know) ### ["Meta builds humanoid robot with Chinese startup Fourier, The Information says"](https://www.asiaone.com/digital/meta-builds-humanoid-robot-chinese-startup-fourier-information-says) ### ["Mit Fourier aus China: Meta entwickelt humanoiden Prototyp eines Roboter"](https://www.golem.de/news/mit-fourier-aus-china-meta-entwickelt-humanoiden-prototyp-eines-roboter-2611-214730.html) ### ["Meta reportedly built a humanoid robot prototype that can do household chores"](https://www.engadget.com/2303434/meta-reportedly-built-a-humanoid-robot-prototype-that-can-do-household-chores/) ### ["Meta reportedly built humanoid prototype Max with Chinese robotics company Fourier · Digg"](https://digg.com/tech/c4pgu3lp) ### ["Titokban készült el a Meta új humanoid robotja"](https://www.portfolio.hu/uzlet/20261101/titokban-keszult-el-a-meta-uj-humanoid-robotja-873436) ### ["Meta reportedly advances humanoid robot development with Chinese partner Fourier"](https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20261102VL205/meta-robotics-development-robot-software.html) ### ["Meta arbeitet offenbar mit chinesischer Hilfe an humanoidem Haushaltsroboter"](https://www.heise.de/news/Meta-arbeitet-offenbar-mit-chinesischer-Hilfe-an-humanoidem-Haushaltsroboter-11507414.html?wt_mc=rss.red.ho.ho.atom.beitrag.beitrag) ### ["Meta reportedly builds humanoid robot prototype with China’s Fourier"](https://technode.com/2026/11/02/meta-reportedly-builds-humanoid-robot-prototype-with-chinas-fourier/) ### ["Meta builds humanoid robot with Chinese startup Fourier: Report"](https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/meta-builds-humanoid-robot-with-chinese-startup-fourier-report/article71655217.ece) ### ["Zuckerberg Wants To Give AI A Body.

Coverage is not a development, and it is kept below. Nothing here yet. A development is a primary document or a government record arriving, a named party publishing a statement of its own, or an entry an editor has made. Outlets repeating one report are coverage, and they are in the timeline below. ## When each outlet carried it One entry the first time an outlet publishes, and a later entry from the same outlet when it publishes again more than six hours on, which is usually a follow up rather than a repeat. A document is always listed. Times are US Eastern. ## People, coverage and context ## What changed about this page Grouping is done by rule and corrected by hand. Every correction an editor makes to this story is listed here with its date. [Correct this record](https://monitor.paciva.ai/notes?skind=correction&sctx=Meta%20builds%20humanoid%20robot%20with%20Chinese%20startup%20Fourier%2C%20The%20Information%20says#suggest) ## Paciva publishes the Monitor. It also builds Pax. Pax is an executive assistant for individuals and a chief of staff to organizations. It runs your day, drafts in your voice, and keeps the noise out across the tools you already use. This site tells you what was said about AI and who said it. Pax is the product Paciva sells, and it has no part in what the Monitor collects, how coverage is ranked, or what a Drift comparison finds.
