  • Armed with more than $750 million in funding, Brett Adcock vows that Figure will become one of the most important businesses in the world. First, there is a lot of work to do. Adcock, the 38-year-old founder and CEO of robot maker Figure, is riding high. In January, the company announced a collaboration with BMW, with the goal of putting Figure’s robots to work at the German automaker’s Spartanburg, South Carolina manufacturing plant. Six weeks later, Figure raised $675 million at a $2.6 billion valuation from the likes of Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI Startup Fund and Jeff Bezos. At the same time, Figure signed a collaboration agreement with OpenAI to develop next generation AI models for humanoid robots.
    The valuation makes Adcock, who owns about 50% of the Sunnyvale, California company, a new billionaire. With his Figure stake and shares from a previous startup, he’s worth an estimated $1.4 billion.
    Even with all the money in the world, success is not assured.

    Look at his previous startups. He just rides hype waves and exits at the top. Take his previous company Archer: He tried to build E-VTOL taxis. He sold it to some gullible investors. Look around, there are virtually no E-VTOL taxis to be found.
    The same will happen with Figure. He will exit at the top of the hype curve and the robot bubble will burst. All he is doing now is putting together all the existing tech to try to make investors think that innovation is happening fast. Nothing new is happening in his company. Once he sells, the apparent development will stop and we will be waiting many decades before humanoid robots actually become useful.
    Elon Musk and many others do similar stuff too. It is all about trying to impress gullible investors and getting their money before the investors realize the tech will not really be there for another 20-50 years.

      First off, Boston Dynamic didn’t “shut down” any of their robotics projects… They simply transitioned Atlas from being a hydraulic humanoid robot to a full electric humanoid robot. Only recently have servos/motors, and battery technology improved such that a humanoid robot can be full electric with similar performance. Hydraulics are immensely strong for their weight and that is why they started out with Atlas being hydraulic. The recent “farewell atlas” video they posted was simply a way to drum up media hype for their new full-electric model- check out their channel for the video of full electric atlas as it came out 24 hours later. The motion of the robot will tell-all in terms of the joints being electric, haha.
      Let me preface with the statement that I love Boeing- their military aircraft are badass. My grandfather finished his flying career (which began in WW2 flying a B24 Liberator) on the Boeing 747. I love the company and I think it is one of the greatest American enterprises of all time, but not in its current state. The simple answer with Boeing is layered, but I’ll give you my best summary:
      The A320 NEO was outselling the previous generation of 737 because of its more fuel efficient engines. That is the make it or break it metric today for airlines. Fuel cost is everything; it makes maintenance cost look trivial and it directly affects airlines’ profit figures. So, Boeing needed a 737 with similar engines. However, to redesign an aircraft around engines would require airlines to retrain their pilots for thousands of hours on simulators due to type recertification. This would be immensely costly for airlines, and would lead to bad sales on the new 737. The leaders of the company at the time made the decision to retrofit similarly efficient engines on the old 737 model. In technicality, this meant putting absolutely massive engines on the 737 and lead to the implementation of the MCAS system to compensate for the position of the engine air inlets relative to the wing of the aircraft. MCAS killed hundreds of people in multiple crashes (too technical for me to go into here, but you can research that yourself)… In other words, engineers would have disregarded the business implications of a full on redesign and done what is correct yet costs airlines more money, but those in charge of the company (business majors) decided to make the decision to avoid type recertification in favor of better sales numbers. Similar decisions are made at every level of Boeing by managers that don’t understand engineering (especially quality control), and it is far too dangerous to be okay with. As an engineer in America that graduates from an ABET accredited program, you are trained from the very first aero engineering (or other) courses about the ethics of engineering and about the consequences of choices like were made by the business majors at the helm of Boeing when it put out the 737 max product. It is a damn shame to see. Technical prowess, and understanding the math, probability, and physics behind engineering failures will never, ever take the place of a “cabinet” of engineers telling the CEO what to do when that CEO has the final say. Keep in mind though, more CEO’s are engineers than business MBA’s (look it up). CEO’s with business degrees are fine in technology companies because they specialize in making money, but when it comes to managing risk and putting out a safely engineered product, they are fully inept and are at risk of making decisions that could cost lives in the interest of profit like the leaders of Boeing did when they put out the 737 MAX initially. A cabinet of engineers isn’t going to cut it when you’re making aircraft that carry hundreds of people and the final say is that of someone who has no technical knowledge, only knowledge about how to maximize profit. I stand by this opinion, as do most engineers, and it is for a reason. Non-engineers simply don’t understand the risk associated with the decisions made by engineering firms and the sheer amount of variables in engineering problems that can literally kill thousands if not millions of people.
      In terms of the dude leading the company in this video, he doesn’t understand engineering in the slightest, yet that is the end-goal of his company’s vision- hard engineering. There are too many variables for his company to do exactly what he thinks in as little time as he thinks; that is self/evident to me as an engineer but clearly not to him.
      In summary, Boston Dynamics is far more profitable than this company is. It’s not even close; spot and Atlas (as well as military contracts) and their algorithms that have been developed since the inception of the company, are unparalleled by any company out there and this companies CEO will probably make similarly bad decisions (like Boeing) to match BD robots’ performance.

    I think that in the long run robotics will be able to do most tasks and help grow the economy, but there are still significant issues that need to be overcome. Similar to how self driving isn't ready yet, I am doubtful that there has been the advancement with respect to the intelligence systems needed to really make these things worth their high cost to operate and maintain. It's my guess that Figure is applying a Tesla-like approach, the one that they've used for self driving and applying it to robotics. They collect a massive amount of data and fit expensive models to try and replicate behavior that is in principle very basic, but there seems to be limits to how good these systems can get. The hardware looks great but I think $750 million dollars is just too much to pump in without any output, the demo video was reassuring but I've personally built a robot arm that could work like this if I put a ChatGPT command interface on top of it. Just saying, also I don't trust business majors to run tech companies, but maybe I'm biased.

      @@snailedlt Human movement is quite complex (compared to wheels), or even dog movement (spot by Boston dynamics). Due to being upright, humanoid robots need significantly more actuation and degrees of freedom to maintain balance, particularly during complex maneuvers. As the previous commenter said, it is because the world is designed for humans - stairs, door handles, buttons (need nimble appendages), tools (all made for human hands). Can’t open a dishwasher without fingers, or use a sink very easily if you are not human shaped (upright, similar height, hands and arms). There is also the consideration of acceptability - humans are more likely to feel comfortable with something that kind of resembles other humans (the only other intelligent entities we interact with).

    It's going to be "pretty magical" for those making & selling the robots. Not so much for those being told to "accept your lower wage and be grateful because a robot could do it for much less, faster, and longer". Bear in mind at some point robots will build factories that manufacture more robots. And then we will see power and wealth concentrated in the hands of few humans like never before. Apart from that though, I think it's neat. 😉

    Boston Dynamics didn't bring *Atlas* to market because they know that there's still so much to figure out with humanoid robots!

This robot just seems like a very expensive toy although BD's new revelation seems much more promising than this and the Tesla bot!

    The end talking about the issues with power and teathers isn't a big deal with alot of jobs robots will be doing especially if they have a smaller battery for moving between stations that have power or data tethers. Imagine each station has its own brain and power supply the robot just plugs in and becomes the body. It only needs to be smart enough onboard to move between more specialized tasks. This can have huge savings with efficiency and raw material savings
