Is that robot named after me? I’ll proudly wear that shirt.

Figure AI’s humanoid robots sorted packages for around 50 hours nonstop without intervention, CEO Brett Adcock said, a milestone in showing their ability to take on everyday tasks. https://t.co/StF2Kt6jSx

@Figure_robot Four of us are on a livestream discussing this while watching this. https://t.co/L20DX65aMD

Watch a team of humanoid robots running a full 8-hr shift at human performance levels. This is fully autonomous running Helix-02 https://t.co/IdZR0T1F5I

[Brett Adcock @adcock_brett]

Figure is going live around 11am PT today with an 8-hour livestream of our robots running at human speeds

This will be fully autonomous on Helix-02 w/ zero human intervention

The robots will work together to keep operations running nonstop

I’ll share the link soon

[Mathew DeDonato @mdedonato]

Livestream tomorrow!

Just leaving Figure’s critical design review for F.04 - the robot is now in full design lock and we're starting to ship parts

F.04 is by far the biggest leap we’ve ever made between robot generations. The level of engineering advances in this system is on a completely different level

At Figure, engineering reviews are extremely rigorous. We start with high-level architecture reviews and work all the way down to detailed reviews on every millimeter, watt, and gram of the robot. We've engineered something really mind blowing and I can't wait to show the world what this team is capable of

One easter egg - the image in the background is from earlier F.04 design reviews :)

Figure taught two robots to make a bed together - fully autonomous

Honestly, they’re better at it than most humans

[Brett Adcock @adcock_brett]

F.03 can now walk up/down stairs purely using it's onboard camera perception

Our robots now walk from manufacturing when built to HQ

This is trained end-to-end with reinforcement learning in simulation

BREAKING: First-Ever Full Tour of Figure's Humanoid HQ

CEO Brett Adcock

Exclusive look through every department on their San Jose campus:

BotQ Factory, Testing, Design, Demos & more.

Brett walks us through how Figure is built:
- System integration lab: where robots are stress-tested with software faults & physical pushes
- Helix AI: team floor where the controls & neural network engineers train the vision-language-action model that runs onboard every Figure robot
- Reinforcement learning & stability testing: where Figure demos the Vulcan project — surviving a lost knee mid-task
- Home: environment where Figure 03 autonomously tidies a living room using their Helix neural network (no teleoperation)
- BotQ: manufacturing facility where heads, batteries, and limbs come together on the assembly line, including the custom-built battery line & end-of-line burn-in bays
- Industrial design studio: (opened publicly for the first time) housing every generation of Figure robot ever built, including: Figure 01 with its Frankenstein forearms, Figure 02, & the sleek Figure 03 that recently appeared at the White House, plus the evolution of Figure's hands & feet

Brett shares why he believes humanoid robots may achieve AGI before any other form factor, why Figure pivoted entirely from hand-coded controls to neural networks, & teases that Figure 04 will be their "iPhone 1 moment."

This was so much fun!

Big thank you to Brett & the team at Figure for opening the doors for us!

NEW: Brett Adcock, CEO of Figure

Full Interview

At a $39 billion valuation, Figure has raised nearly $2 billion in just 4 years to build general-purpose humanoid robots designed to perform real work at scale.

We go deep on the progress, what’s working today, the biggest challenges ahead, & the biggest misconceptions about robotics.

Plus:
• ~50% of global GDP = human labor
• Why this is a $30–40T labor opportunity
• Scaling to thousands → millions of robots
• “This is an intelligence problem”
• Why they walked away from OpenAI

In the last 120 days, Figure scaled manufacturing 24x - from 1 robot/day to 1 robot/hour

We will manufacture 55 humanoid robots this week

Introducing Vulcan - a new Al robot controller

This is an important safety feature that allows F.03 to lose up to 3 actuators in the lower body and still hobble around without falling
