Founder & CEO of Figure AI
"Brett Adcock's Figure 02 robots are deployed in BMW manufacturing facilities, proving the commercial reality of general-purpose humanoids."
Brett Adcock
Founder & CEO • Figure AI
After taking Archer Aviation public in a $3.8B SPAC, Brett Adcock invested over $100M of his own capital into Figure AI. His thesis: global labor shortages require general-purpose humanoid robots that operate in existing infrastructure.
Figure 02 features Vision-Language-Action neural models that allow robots to process natural language commands and perform dexterous factory work without hand-coded scripts.
Adcock aims to bring the cost per humanoid unit below $20,000, creating scalable robot workforces for logistics, manufacturing, and future elder care.
"We're going to need a billion humanoids on Earth to sustain economic growth. It's a demographic necessity."
