00:02This might be trouble for the human race!
00:13Alright, the future's here.
00:16And this man is building the future.
00:18I'm talking about Brett Adcock, founder of FIGURE, and he is building robots.
00:24Robots that are going to make everyone's life easier, and we're going to be joined by one of these robots.
00:30No, no, does he have a name?
00:32What do you want to call it?
00:34What do you want to name it?
00:37Ah, let's call him 3PO, just the hell of it.
00:393PO.
00:39Always wanted my own 3PO.
00:41That's 3PO right there.
00:43I mean, these robots are amazing.
00:45I think of all the possibilities we could be doing robots.
00:49You know, I've always wanted, watching Star Wars, I wanted R2-D2 and I wanted 3PO.
00:56I wanted them to do everything.
00:57I wanted a robot made like the Jetsons.
01:00And it looks like we're getting there.
01:02We're getting there.
01:03I mean, these robots could do anything, it seems, these days.
01:06It's amazing.
01:07But, one thing that scares me.
01:11Are you concerned that you might be building Skynet?
01:15Yeah, it's certainly possible.
01:17I mean, you know, to be honest with you, it may not be that bad.
01:23Okay, there you go.
01:24Look at that.
01:25Could be, couldn't make an improvement.
01:28I mean, I for one might embrace my robot overlords.
01:32That's a great way to look at it.
01:34I mean, look at this.
01:35It's sleek.
01:35It's walking.
01:36It's, I could go on walks every day with these robots.
01:40I mean, I think I walk a lot further than Matt would, right?
01:43Oh.
01:44Matt, I mean, I know you, and of course you know Matt Jenks, of course.
01:49He worked for you, and I heard he was a madman when he was working for you.
01:54Dude, guy's a madman.
01:55Like, he led the sales team, and really helped you boost everything.
02:01All the sales, nobody could sell like Jenks.
02:04Jenks is like the number one guy across the board every single time.
02:08I know everything he's done for me.
02:10He sold me on walking, he sold me on exercising, and he gets these great guests all the time.
02:16Of course, Mikey helped out a lot, and he helped start it.
02:20I wouldn't be anything without my team, and I see that you really helped mold Jenks into what he is.
02:28Now, we were talking about Skynet and science fiction, but one thing I know a lot of people are worried
02:35about.
02:37Will these robots take over the workforce?
02:40I think you'll see robots doing more and more of what humans do today in the near future.
02:46But is that going to be a drain on the economy?
02:49No, I think it'll actually help.
02:50I think we have the ability to produce billions of robots that are out there doing all kinds of stuff.
02:56Logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, put robots in the home.
03:02I mean, I definitely would love a robot in my home.
03:07Clean up every day, help me go through my baseball card collection, help me film an episode of Tank Hooks.
03:16Maybe go out and film a few raw dogs.
03:18Maybe you teach them how to eat hot dogs.
03:22Maybe they can make you some hot dogs.
03:23Yeah.
03:25But I'm amazed by robots.
03:28I'm amazed what they can do.
03:29And I think about trash day.
03:32How we have to separate our garbage from recycling.
03:39And then I go to the airport and I see them just throw them all in the same bin and
03:42they take it off.
03:44And like, yeah, we're recycling.
03:46Yeah, not.
03:48And I think about this.
03:50Could we possibly have robots go to these garbage facilities, sort all the garbage and make that more efficient?
03:58I think of that as being like wanting to clean the environment, create more recyclables, and just make everything better
04:06for everyone.
04:07And no human wants to sort through garbage.
04:11Yeah.
04:11I mean, listen, our robot was just in the kitchen doing kitchen work last week and now you want to
04:15make it a garbage man?
04:16Oh, you can do anything.
04:17We can have robots in the dump, we can have robots in the kitchen.
04:23I tell you one thing.
04:25I was on a delayed flight for five and a half hours today at a Newark airport.
04:30They probably would be more better at giving you human interaction than what I actually got at Newark.
04:35Yeah, 100%.
04:37What do you see these robots doing?
04:39Okay, so today we're doing work in logistics, manufacturing, like various other aspects of the industrial workforce.
04:46And separately we're trying to make these robots work in the home every day.
04:49So we're doing work like, can we do dishes, run the dishwasher, tidy up the living room, do like everyday
04:56housework that you'd want in the home.
04:58I mean, I got a Roomba. I love my Roomba.
04:59Oh, yeah.
05:00I named it Metzi.
05:01I mean, just to come home and have a robot, just have everything ready for you.
05:05Yeah.
05:05Your food ready.
05:08Be able to get you your mail.
05:10I mean, getting everything done.
05:13It's amazing.
05:15Now, you've been running figures since 2022.
05:20And how many generations have you already gone through with these robots?
05:25We're now in generation three behind us.
05:27So we had figure one. I think you saw that earlier today.
05:30What'd you think of that one?
05:31Figure one looks a lot like the T-100.
05:34Okay, good.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Looked a little bit like I walked with Arnold.
05:38I worked out with Arnold.
05:40Looked like he's an ex-co-scout today.
05:42Yeah, we got to give a little shout out to Arnold here.
05:43Be a perfect advisor for us.
05:45How to steer clear of Skynet here in the coming years.
05:49Yeah, so we have figure one.
05:50You saw figure two, our second generation robot.
05:53We just retired it a few months back.
05:55And then behind us now is our third generation robot, figure three.
05:57Majority of the time we're running robots now fully autonomously, end-to-end work.
06:04So like things in logistics we do and housework.
06:06These are robots just running not only autonomously, but they're running on like basically a neural network stack we call
06:10Helix.
06:12And what exactly is Helix?
06:14Helix is our basic vision language action model.
06:17It's our AI model that we use to power the robot.
06:22So right now the robot, the way it walks and the way it teaches itself to walk is done through
06:26a neural network.
06:26It's basically done through an AI model that we trained in a physics simulator.
06:30So pretty soon you'll be able to talk and like carry on conversations.
06:33Yeah, for sure.
06:34You'll be able to just like, the robot will remember you, remember things you've done.
06:38And I can picture one day when we're going, traveling, world traveling, having a robot with you.
06:44Especially when it might be fluid in over six million forms of communication.
06:50Yeah, you should have like a, robot should be a great companion at home.
06:53I mean, I want a robot.
06:56You want a robot?
06:57I want a robot.
06:58You want that robot right there?
06:59I'd love to have a robot.
07:00You already named it.
07:01So I feel like it's a good one to take home.
07:04Take it back to New York airport and see what they say.
07:11We're talking probably in the next 10, 20 years, people are going to have robots in their home.
07:15Oh my God.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Way before, hopefully way before then.
07:18Like, like we think like, we're on the verge of the next few years here having robots all over the
07:24place.
07:24Like, so we're, you know, we just actually passed our manufacturing facility.
07:28We call it BotQ.
07:30For this robot actually came off the line probably no longer than maybe a month or two.
07:34So pretty fresh.
07:36And we make it, we make them here.
07:37So we'll build, we're trying to build like several thousand robots as basically as fast as possible right now.
07:43And, and then, yeah, you basically want robots out in the world doing all kinds of stuff, housework, doing, doing
07:48real work, like, you know, doing logistics and building buildings.
07:51We're sending it to the post office.
07:53I mean, the, the, the mail, the, the mail sort of hasn't gotten, the efficiency at the post office isn't
08:00going too well these days.
08:02Yeah.
08:03No, I like we, I think we can help speed that up for sure.
08:07Now I noticed walking around your facility, you don't have conference rooms.
08:11You make sure everyone's working.
08:13Yeah.
08:13I mean, there's nobody could be feeble and work for you.
08:17I mean, the meetings are a complete waste of time.
08:19They are.
08:20They really are.
08:21I mean, there's nothing worse than a meeting, especially when it is just regurgitate everything you should know.
08:29They'll, they'll give you the notes.
08:31You can read the notes.
08:33I don't think anybody likes going to a meeting.
08:35I mean, I know Dave hates meetings.
08:38Like, like, like the people at the company back, all our meetings are like, okay, you know, this, this is
08:44basic things.
08:44This is what's going on.
08:46You're going to say, okay, thank you for seeing this.
08:48See you around next time meeting.
08:50Yeah.
08:51I mean, I love those meetings.
08:52The best way to fix this is just never, never have a way to actually meet with people.
08:56No.
08:57And people should know people should, I mean, incompetence and feeble.
09:03You can't be that if you hold people accountable.
09:06And I, and that's, that's what I admire.
09:09You hold people accountable.
09:11And Jenks has told me all about that.
09:13And I wish we had more accountability.
09:15I mean, if you want to, if you don't want robots taking over your job, be accountable.
09:23That's well said.
09:25Like we have a, like the robots right now are all, all, all wearing clothes.
09:28Like that we can take on and off and wash.
09:30So you can just outfit them whenever you want.
09:32You know, when I was a kid, I think it might've been like first or second grade.
09:36I went, uh, dressed as 3PO for Halloween.
09:41We got to get you, uh, we got to get you a gold robot here as soon as possible.
09:46I'll let my team know as soon as we get back.
09:49See all the people honking at us, Frank?
09:51Yeah.
09:52People yelling at us over there on the road.
09:54I'm used to it.
09:55They know who you are.
09:55I'm used to it.
09:56I know it's you or the robot.
09:57Just maybe the combination of it.
09:59Just making everybody really excited.
10:00Yeah.
10:01I, I mean.
10:03And like I said, they take over the world.
10:06What's the worst that could happen?
10:07I mean, it's not like we're doing a good job ourselves.
10:11Yeah.
10:11I mean, also to probably give you a little kind of help.
10:13Maybe that you're with the robots now too.
10:15You know, I guess they pick sides and have favorites.
10:20Okay.
10:21Right now in New Jersey, it snowed last Sunday.
10:26I still can't walk down the street.
10:28There's the snow banks blocking the intersections.
10:31Nobody shoveled.
10:32Nobody plowed.
10:34Nobody put down rock salt.
10:36I'm slipping and sliding about to break my neck.
10:39Walking over these hills.
10:41They have the, you have to like climb a hill.
10:43They're going to cross the street.
10:45I mean, if you slip and fall, you fall on the ground.
10:47You get run over and it's over.
10:49Because you can't have these people out there shuffling the snow.
10:52I mean, it's, send the robots out there.
10:55I mean, we're all too lazy anyway.
10:57Yeah.
10:58Feels like New Jersey might be a little better off if the robots take over.
11:01Oh, definitely.
11:02Yeah.
11:03I'd vote for a robot for governor.
11:05Wow.
11:06Robot for governor in New Jersey?
11:08Yes.
11:09Of course.
11:09The one thing where robots don't do well, I don't think they're going to do good in baseball.
11:13You see, now you have these analytic people running baseball.
11:16Yeah.
11:17They don't even know what their heart is.
11:19Yeah.
11:21You think baseball might be tough for a robot?
11:23Yeah.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Well, they're doing these analytics.
11:27If the analytic programs were running today like they did, if they ran analytics 40 years ago.
11:33Yep.
11:34Tony Gwynn would never have made it to the majors.
11:38He would have said that, nope, you have to learn how to pull the ball, hit home runs, or you're
11:42not going to make the majors.
11:43Meanwhile, he ended up batting 340 his whole career.
11:49Struck out like 300 times.
11:51Nope.
11:51Oh, you don't care if you strike out.
11:58Yeah, baseball might be pretty tricky.
12:01Yeah, yeah.
12:02It's Moneyball, that worst movie ever.
12:06What do you think?
12:07It's a nice walk with a robot?
12:08I love it.
12:08Yeah.
12:10How do you love it?
12:10I mean...
12:11It's a little slow.
12:12We should kind of...
12:13Eh, they'll catch up on these days.
12:15They're just learning.
12:16How old did you say this robot is?
12:18This must be like maybe two to four weeks old?
12:20Yeah, well it's a baby.
12:21A month?
12:21Yeah, I don't know.
12:22Just a little baby.
12:23Probably came off the line like really recent.
12:25The last 30 days.
12:26I mean...
12:29In five years, this robot will be kicking ass.
12:33Yeah.
12:33Garbage man.
12:34Yeah.
12:35But I see that you're also working on AI programs.
12:39What will this be doing?
12:40I mean, AI could be nice, but sometimes it can be scary.
12:44Yeah.
12:45Especially some of the AI videos that are coming out right now.
12:48Yeah.
12:49I mean, you don't know it's real anymore.
12:50Yeah.
12:51I mean, between like digital AI and physical AI, my view at this point is that they'll just
12:55do everything a human can.
12:57It'll use computers, use tools, CAD.
13:01The robots will be able to do laundry, dishes, like healthcare.
13:06Like just basically across the board, just be able to do what humans can today.
13:09I mean, mopping my floor.
13:11We're going to be making hot dogs for you like every day.
13:14How about...
13:15And we've already got Waymo out there.
13:17Yep.
13:17So, robot drivers, I'm looking forward to it.
13:23And I have a feeling that the robots are going to make everything better.
13:27And thank you.
13:27Yeah.
13:28I'm looking forward to getting my own robot.
13:29Let's do it.
13:30And of course, I got to say this.
13:32Domo arigato.
13:33Let's do it.
13:34See ya!
13:38Tchau!
13:39BOOM!
