The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 14 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Adcock: Figure robots run entirely on Helix vision-language-action model
“You can't write code to make this work. So all of our robots here run on a neural network we call Helix. It's a vision language action model we designed here internally to tell the robot what to go do, to stay balanced, like how to move its joints basically fr…”
Adcock: No humanoid robot has demonstrated 7-10 failure-free autonomous hours daily
“I want to be able to put a robot into a home and be able to do, like, seven to 10 hours of work successfully without failures, with, like, to know, like, with no human intervention and do that every day forever. It's just, like, a hard problem. Nobody's ever s…”
Adcock: Figure placed the first humanoid robots in White House history
“We got a call asking to be basically the first humanoid group basically ever to put robots in the White House, and so last week we basically had the, you know, first robots in, humanoid robots in history there doing stuff, talking, greeting folks we were basic…”
Adcock: Figure-Assisted BMW X3 Is First Car Built by Humanoid Robot
“This is an X-III that we helped basically like we basically helped, the robot helped assemble it, and this was the first car in the world built by a humanoid robot that we're aware of.”
Adcock: Project Vulcan prevents Figure robots from falling during leg joint failures
“We've been working on a project we call Vulcan here internally. That basically allows us to lose a single or even multiple joints in the legs and still not fall.”
Adcock: Figure robots run Helix AI inference onboard without network connectivity
“We run Helix on board. So they're actually loaded into GPUs on board and memory, and we run inference on board. Meaning if we if we lose internet connection, we can still do housework and logistics.”
Adcock: Figure got its first robot walking within a year
“We have our figure one robot. It's kind of gnarly. It's got wires everywhere. It's our first generation. We had that walking before we were a year old, and we think it's probably one of the fastest times in human history.”
Adcock: Figure Deployed Robots for Six Months on BMW Body Shop Line
“We work at BMW, and last year we deployed for six months robots on the basically body shop factory line to build cars.”
Adcock: Figure runs onboard neural network inference hundreds of times per second
“And we have to do that like a few hundred times a second from camera images and on a neural network that runs on board the robot.”
O'Shea: Figure AI now has more humanoid robots than human employees
“Figure AI. Like, they now have more humanoid robots at their office than employees.”
Adcock: Figure's robot uses a 2.25 kWh torso battery pack
“And then at the end, pops out basically a pretty heavy 2.25 kilowatt hour battery pack. ... So this so this battery will basically go right into the torso. It's one of the heaviest components we have.”
