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! @adcock_brett @Figure_robot 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Inside Figure’s Humanoid Campus (00:48) The humanoid factory (03:18) First humanoid guest at the White House (05:29) Controlling a robot with infinite movements (10:46) The truth about robot failures (13:00) Attacking a humanoid robot (testing responses) (16:12) Building a general purpose robot (23:05) The "Never Fall" protocol (28:56) Is the home robot teleoperated?

F.02 Decommission

Today we’re releasing Helix 2.5 We rented 30 homes in the Bay Area. The robots arrived with no additional training and started doing useful work

Somewhere out there is a guy who bought a brand new GMC Sierra 1500 with a 96 month loan at 25% interest who just filled up at $6 dollar/gallon diesel carrying a massive credit card balance who is going to go home tonight and lose 100+ dollars on a Single Game Parlay

I predicted they’d call off Congress until the election to stop our new Epstein bill. Johnson said on TV that was “stupid” and “nonsensical.” But then he got a call from “upstairs” and canceled Congress from the middle of September until the election.
