“There’s absolutely no teleoperation into this,”

“We want to create intelligence that lets you offload your mental workload into a system that begins to think like you and sometimes ahead of you.”

“The A.I. systems I use today are far from my vision of what the future should be,”

“We're building a new species here,”

“We want the robot to be able to do most things in your home, autonomously, all day… We're not there yet. We think we can get there in 2026, but it's a big push.”

“The world was built for humans,”

“We see a tremendous advantage of having a large language model or multi models model on the robot so that we can interact with it and give what we call ‘semantic understanding,’”

“I think it’s getting more clear that this [humanoid robotics] are becoming more and more an engineering problem than it is a research problem,”

“Actually being able to build a humanoid [robot] and put it into the world of useful work is actually starting to be possible.”

“I think over time every human will have a humanoid,”

“[They could] even help colonize planets on the moon and Mars.”

“Most problems are solvable in the world, and we have a lot of problems over here every day.”

“I have a saying that the only way out is through,”

“With Figure we hope to do a lot of the dirty and dull and dangerous jobs that humans do today. I think that can be really important for the world if we can help automate a lot of this work that people don’t want to do or is really dangerous.”
