In a recent interview, Brett Adcock, CEO of Figure revealed details that show the transition from digital to physical and perhaps the most unexpected point was the relationship with OpenAI, the collaboration between both companies was ended and according to him, the figure team began to advance faster when the topic was putting artificial intelligence to work in real robots, because there is an enormous difference between simulation and the physical world.

In the robot, everything is subject to failures, motors, sensors, communication, and that requires constant testing, something that does not always keep up with the pace of large laboratories. From there, Figure decided to continue on her own and began to develop her own system capable of integrating speech, reasoning, and action in the same model, but the most interesting thing is not only in the artificial intelligence, but in the physical behavior of these robots.

If a robot loses a joint, it does not stop, adapts, blocks the damaged part and continues moving to a repair area, without human help, as if it had a basic survival instinct, however, when it comes to the real world, especially inside a house, the situation changes, according to the CEO himself, these environments are still too unpredictable and that is why he himself admits that he still does not feel comfortable leaving these robbers free around children.

That is, despite the advance, the technology still has limits, even so, production is already accelerating and the objective is to scale this to thousands of units with a major change, instead of programming each action, robots now learn as a unique system, receiving new skills, almost like a download and that is a drastic change because they are no longer fixed machines and begin to evolve over time. Brett Adcock may say his burglaries aren't ready yet, but there are already companies putting humanoid machines to work in human homes.
