Business models and deployment plans

For the first time ever, Figure is opening every door. Sourcery gets the first full tour of Figure's robotics campus with Founder & CEO Brett Adcock — and we see everything. Figure is the first-of-its-kind AI robotics company bringing a general purpose humanoid to life, designing, building, and testing every robot in-house.

In this exclusive walkthrough, Brett takes us through all the departments on their San Jose campus: 

• System integration lab where robots are stress-tested with software faults and physical pushes

• Helix AI team floor where the controls and neural network engineers train the vision-language-action model that runs onboard every Figure robot

• Reinforcement learning & stability testing area where Figure demos the Vulcan project — surviving a lost knee mid-task — and lets Molly push the robot to test its RL-trained balance

• 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 and 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, and the sleek Figure 03 that recently appeared at the White House, plus the evolution of Figure's hands and 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, and teases that Figure 04 will be their "iPhone 1 moment."

This is the most complete look inside Figure that has ever been filmed.
