Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock says “If we can just get humanoids to do work that humans are not wanting to do because there’s a shortfall of humans, we can sell millions of humanoids, billions maybe.”
At the moment, however, Adcock’s firm doesn’t have a prototype that’s ready for market. Figure AI raised a $70 million series A.

Teslabot and Sanctuary AI continue to push ahead with their humanoid robots.
Agility Robotics has built a factory for making 10,000 robots per year. Amazon is testing their robots.
Agility Robotics co-founder and CEO Damion Shelton said the warehouse robot is “just the first use case” of a new generation of robots he hopes will be embraced rather than feared as they prepare to enter businesses and homes.
“So in 10, 20 years, you’re going to see these robots everywhere,” Shelton said. “Forever more, human- centric robots like that are going to be part of human life. So that’s pretty exciting.”
