robots should belong to the builders.
figure is building robot labor as a service for warehouses.
1x is building robots as a service for the home.
tesla is starting with humanoids inside its own factories.
if only a handful of companies own the robots, they also own the data, the deployment layer, and eventually the way physical work gets automated.
but the world is too messy for one closed fleet to map all of it.
every factory, warehouse, hotel, lab, farm, hospital, and home has different tasks, tools, constraints, and workflows.
no single company can solve all of that alone.
robots become useful everywhere when more people can own them, train them, modify them, break them, improve them, and deploy them in places nobody else is thinking about.
not robots as closed black boxes.
robots as platforms.
robots in the hands of builders.

The best people at their craft are somewhere doing it very well without having anybody knowing about it for years.
To build great robots, we need them to be extraordinary. Matching the greatest humans in any field.
