Adcock who holds approximately 50% of
the sunny Veil California company has
now entered the exclusive billionaire
club armed with his figure stake and
shares from a previous startup his net
worth is estimated to be around $1.4
billion the company invisions a future
reminiscent of the jetu where every
individual will have their very own
humanoid robot or perhaps even two to
assist with various tasks such as
laundry coffee making and cooking dinner
as per the founders perspective it is
expected to yield significant returns in
the future this will become one of the
most significant businesses in the world
over time at Co States our aim is to
become a versatile alternative to human
labor in a recent press release it was
announced that figure and open AI have
formed a collaboration to create
Advanced AI models for humanid robots
this partnership will leverage open ai's
research experties and figures extensive
knowledge of Robotics hardware and
software the collaboration is focused on
Expediting figures's commercial timeline
by improving the language processing and
reasoning abilities of humanoid robots
given the immense amount of attention
and financial support one would
naturally expect the robot to possess
extraordinary capabilities wouldn't they
so this company is relatively new and
recently introduced its first humanoid
prototype called the figure 01 in
October during that period the company
stated that it encompassed approximately
a Year's worth of effort boasting a team
of experienced veterans from renowned
companies like Boston Dynamics Tesla
Google deepmind and Archer Aviation the
company has a solid foundation to build
upon the robot's design is striking with
its solid aluminum construction and
precise electric actuation it strives to
achieve a remarkable resemblance to a
human maintaining a 1:1 ratio according
to the website the objective is to
create a humanoid measuring 5' 6 in and
weighing 130 lb with the ability to lift
up to 44 lb it's quite impressive how
they managed to cram all these robot
Parts into such a compact package
prioritizing form over function Boston
Dynamics Atlas stands out among
alternative humanoid designs with its
hulking beast-like appearance
prioritizing function over form
additionally there is the specialized
digit robot developed by agility
robotics this robot is specifically
designed for warehouse tasks and
features unique backward bending bird
legs these legs enable the robot to
effortlessly bend down in front of a
shelf without any concerns about
potential collisions with its knees one
can gain a valuable perspective on the
company's progr progress by exploring
their official YouTube channel where the
captivating footage showcases the figure
01 robot effortlessly performing various
tasks in the most efficient video which
was posted a few days ago a remarkable
demonstration took place a robot was
seen effortlessly completing a box
moving task with what was claimed to be
complete autonomy however it is worth
noting that the robot speed was only a
mere 16.7% of what a human would
typically achieve in the same task the
walking of the bipedal robot leaves much
to be desired lacking any impressive
qualities figure moves with a cautious
unhurried gate inching forward at a
leisurely speed the movement of the Walk
cycle is primarily controlled by the
hips throughout the entire duration the
knees remain bent and positioned in
front of the robot while the ankles
exhibit minimal movement the creature's
movement is rather pecular as it can
only walk in a perfectly straight line
when it attempts to turn it does so with
a slow and cumbersome stop and spin in
place motion with its fate pedaling in
place throughout the entire process
there is a noticeable Rhythm to the
movement of the Fate even when the robot
is not in motion it's as if the foot
planning operates on a predetermined
schedule to maintain balance it moves on
its fate but its gate is reminiscent of
a robot's slow and clumsy the attention
of the figure appears to be primarily
drawn towards the hands the 01 possesses
remarkably large hands that closely
resemble those of a human complete with
five fingers each can consisting of
three joints in January figur shared a
video showcasing the robot in action
definitely operating a curc coffee maker
imagine the graceful dance of preparing
your morning coffee gently lifting the
lid with a fingertip you delicately
grasp The Fragile plastic cup with two
fingers effortlessly placing it into the
coffee maker with a nonchalant touch you
press the lid down using a combination
of three fingers and finally with a
single finger you confidently press the
Go Button the coffee maker and the Cake
Cup have managed to survive but the
cuing is enduring a rather rough
existence some of the robot interactions
unintentionally lift one side or the
other of the coffee maker off the table
due to excessive force at coock setup
shop in we work space located in Palo
elto where he made connections with
individuals from various backgrounds in
the field of Robotics Brad informed us
recalls John McCormack an investor from
tamaric Global that he would be
overseeing the NFL draft for humanoid
Talent McCormick's firmm is a invested
in both Archer and figer in August 2022
he had brought on board a team of eight
employees currently the team is expanded
to include 90 individuals including
talented individuals from renowned
companies such as Boston Dynamics Google
Deep Mind Tesla and Apple's secretive
special projects group but what's
interesting is that he had never built a
robot before according to Adcock his
time at Archer provided him with
valuable insights into the world of
Robotics according to Archer their air
taxis are equipped with batteries Motors
embedded software and control systems
and Adcock initially financed the
company himself keeping the exact amount
he invested undisclosed however
according to certain sources it is
estimated to be around $20 million on
top of his veter payday he has managed
to offload a substantial amount of
Archer Aviation shares totaling at least
$70 million in value in March 2023 figer
secured an impressive $70 million in
funding from a group group of esteemed
investors with Parkway Venture Capital

remarkable ability to talk and stand
this incredible fate was made possible
through the use of electromagnets and
batteries in this modern era the
