This is my P1 for the human race.
All right, the future's here and this man is building the future. I'm talking about Brett Adcock, founder of Figure, and he is building robots. Robots that are going to make everyone's life easier. And we'll even be joined by one of these robots. Don't know what it is. Does he have a name?
What do you want to call it? What do you want to name it?
Uh, let's call him 3PO. Just for the hell of it.
3PO. I always wanted my own 3PO.
I mean, these robots are amazing. I think of all the possibilities we could be doing with robots. You know, I've always wanted watching Star Wars. I wanted R2-D2 and I wanted 3PO. I wanted them to do everything. I wanted a robot made like the Jetsons and it looks like we're getting there. We're getting there. I mean, these robots could do anything it seems these days. It's amazing. But one thing that scares me, are you concerned that you might be building Skynet?
Yeah, it's certainly possible. I mean, you know, to be honest with you, may not be that bad.
Okay, there you go. Could make an improvement. I mean I for one might embrace my robot overlords.
That's a great way to look at it. I mean look at this. It's sleek. It's walking. I could go on walks every day with these robots.
I mean I think it walk a lot further than Matt would. Right.
Matt, I mean I know you and of course you know Matt Jensen. Of course. He worked with you and I heard he was a madman when he was working for you.
Like he led the sales team and really helped you boost everything. All the sales they did. Nobody could sell like Jens.
Jens is like the number one guy across the board every single time.
I know everything he's done for me. He sold me on walking. He sold me on exercising. And he gets these great guests all the time. Of course. Mikey helps out a lot. He helped start it. I wouldn't be ending without my team. And I see that you really helped mold Jens into what he is. Now we were talking about Skynet and science fiction. But one thing I know a lot of people are worried about, will these robots take over the workforce?
I think you'll see robots doing more and more of what humans do today in the near future. But is that going to be a drain on the economy? No, I think it'll actually help. I think like we have the ability to produce like billions of robots that are out there doing all kinds of stuff. Logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, put robots in the home. I mean,
I mean, I definitely would love a robot in my home. Clean up every day. Help me go through my baseball card collection. Help me film episode of Tank Cooks. Maybe go out and film a few raw dogs. Maybe you teach them how to eat hot dogs.
Maybe they can make you some hot dogs.
Yeah. But I'm amazed by robots. I'm amazed what they can do. And I think about trash day, how we have to separate our garbage from recycling. And then I go to the airport, I see them just throw them all in the same bin and they take it off and like, 'Yeah, we're recycling.' Yeah. Not. And I think about this. Could we possibly have robots go to these garbage facilities, sort all the garbage, and make that more efficient? I think of that as being like one thing that could like clean the environment, create more recyclables, and just make everything better for everyone. And no human wants to sort through garbage.
Yeah. I mean, listen, our robot was just in the kitchen doing kitchen work last week, and now you want to make it a garbage man.
Oh, you could do anything. We have robots in the dump. We got robots in the kitchen. I tell you one thing, I was on a delayed flight for 5 and a half hours today. Just better at giving you human interaction than what I actually got at Newark.
Yeah, 100%. What do you see these robots doing? What?
Okay, so today we're doing work in logistics, manufacturing, like various other aspects of like the industrial workforce and separately we're trying to make these robots work in the home every day. So we're doing work like can we do dishes, run the dishwasher, tidy up the living room, like do like everyday housework that you'd want in the home.
I mean I got a Roomba. I love my Roomba. I named it Metsy. I mean just to come home, have a robot, just have everything ready for you.
Yeah. Your food ready, be able to get you your mail. I mean, they're getting everything done. It's amazing.
Now, you've been running Figure since 2022. And how many generations have you already gone through with these robots?
We're now in generation three behind us. So, we had Figure One, I think you saw that earlier today.
What'd you think of that one? Figure One looked a lot like the T-1000 today.
Like look a little bit like I walked with Arnold. I worked out with Arnold. Look like his exoskeleton today.
Yeah. We got to give a little shout out to Arnold here. Be a perfect adviser for us. How to steer clear of Skynet here in the coming years. So we have Figure One. You saw Figure Two, our second generation robot. We just retired it a few months back. And then behind us now is our third generation robot, Figure Three. Majority of the time we're running robots now fully autonomously end-to-end work. So like things in logistics we do in-house work. These are robots just are running not only autonomously but they're running on like basically a neural network stack we call Helix.
And what exactly is Helix?
Helix is our basically vision language action model. It's our AI basically model that we use to power the robot. So right now the robot the way it walks and the way it teaches itself to walk is done through a neural network. It's basically done through an AI model that we trained in a physics simulator.
So, pretty soon you'll be able to talk and like carry on conversations.
Yeah, for sure. You'll be able to just like the robot will remember you, remember things you've done.
And I can picture one day when we're going traveling, world traveling, having a robot with you, especially when it might be fluent in over six million forms of communication.
Yeah, you should have like a robot should be a great companion at home.
I mean, I want a robot. You want a robot?
You want that robot right there?
I'd love to have a robot.
You already named it, so I feel like it's a good one to take home.
Take it back to New York airport and see what they say.
We're talking probably in the next 10, 20 years, people are going to have robots in their home.
