The vision
Three years from founding to humanoids.
- Goal: general-purpose humanoid robots.
- Founded three years earlier.
- Aim to do human work.
| Goal | Why |
|---|---|
| Humanoid form | Fits human spaces |
| General purpose | Many tasks |

Fits human spaces.
0:00 I'm talking about your targets for the next few years, but as a place to start. Where do we stand? Not just with figure, but with the field of humanoid robotics in the real world being deployed for actual tangible commercial use. Well, thanks for having me on it. So. Yeah. My my belief is that. The humanoid robotics will. Well, not only build the biggest business we've ever seen by many, many multiples, but it's going to be also the biggest product launch ever had.
0:54 You're basically building like synthetic humans, better going out and just doing human like work. Why did you want to do that? It's just like the ultimate better problem for a founder, like the it's extremely challenging business, but it's going to build perhaps one of the most important businesses of our lifetime. It's just like it's hard. You're almost like a serial entrepreneur. I use that term loosely, but you had several companies in a relatively short space of time.
1:20 Archer Aviation might be one that people know you best for. When you filed that that paperwork in Delaware and by the end of that week had some sort of prototype Y. What was it in that moment that made you think, I'm going to do this as a business and as a company? I just, you know, probably like a lot of people here, I just grew up watching a lot of sci fi. Good or bad. And I think just looking into the future like this is like.
1:48 Basically, I realized that this was the right time, both on electromechanical side and software side to put together all the ingredients to make this work. And you asked when we started here, like where we at with the commercialization in the real world work like we have robots that work every day in the commercial workforce today maybe even as of right now. And so like. What we're trying to do now is trying to basically figure out how to scale this.
2:15 This is much higher levels. This is a video of figure two second generation. It's a video of it. But what is today Figure two capable of doing autonomously and in terms of tasks and its ability to use its own body, so to speak.
