Nori's arm is for light indoor work. $1,688 sits under the IRS $2,500 expensing cap, but that's a tax cap. A field PO still has to get written. Superintendent cards often run $1,000 to $5,000, and a humanoid at that price usually gets coded as equipment. What's one indoor task you'd hand a low-payload bot in Q2?

🚨 Two really important Figure robotics updates. - 1st, they will be announcing two new commercial customers in the next 60 days. This means Figure will probably be the first humanoid robotics company in the United States after Digit (Agility Robotics) to hit true commercial deployment. It puts them in an extremely elite group alongside the very few other humanoid companies actually gaining real-world commercial revenue right now, like Apptronik. That's really exciting. Second, Brett Adcock confirmed they are now making a robot every 90 minutes. Let's do the math on that production line: • At one robot every 90 minutes, they are building 16 robots per day. • That translates to roughly 480 robots per month. • Which equals over 5,840 robots per year! That means Figure by the end of 2026 should have nearly 6,000 humanoids produced and ready to enter the workforce. They might be Tesla this year we will have to see 👀

NEW: China launches its first humanoid robot soccer league in Beijing. This is way more entertaining than regular soccer. The AI-controlled robots were supplied by Booster Robotics for the tournament and have the skills of 5 to 6 year old children. Robots were seen getting carried off the field on stretchers after falling over. Booster Robotics founder Cheng Hao says the robots' abilities will exponentially increase over time and will eventually challenge adult teams. "We chose the football scenario for robot competition primarily for two reasons: first, to encourage students to apply their algorithmic skills to real-world robotics," Cheng said. "Second, to showcase the robots' ability to walk autonomously and stably, withstand collisions, and demonstrate higher levels of intelligence and safety."

Godfather of AI Yann LeCun reveals the humanoid robot industry's secret: the companies building the robots have no idea how to make them smart enough to be useful. "There is a lot of expectations that robotics is going to be a revolution, essentially, in a big market, eventually." "But the secret of the industry is that none of the companies at the moment that are building robots, like humanoid robots, none of those companies has any idea how to make those robots smart enough to be useful." "There's a big push for AI to make progress towards... understanding the physical world. That's what is prompting this investment." "There's nothing wrong with investing in LLMs. LLMs are useful. They're just addressing a completely different set of applications, really." LeCun is not describing someone else's problem. He has spent 15 years on world models, raised more than $1 billion for AMI Labs to build that missing intelligence layer, and in the same interview he calls 2026 the year of the world model and puts consumer robots 3 to 5 years out. Every humanoid robot demo you have seen is a body waiting for a brain. The winner in robotics will not be the company that shipped the body; it will be the one that ships the intelligence. - Yann LeCun (Yann LeCun), Turing Award winner and founder of AMI Labs, on Bloomberg Television.

Training humanoid robots on teleoperation alone won’t scale, says Rhoda AI CEO Jagdeep Singh. Unlike self-driving cars - which basically have four actuators (left, right, speed up, and slow down) and operate in a single environment (the road) - humanoid robots are completely different: "You're dealing with the full dexterity of a human hand - 20 degrees of freedom per hand. Every object is different. Every type of task is different." The problem isn't just the quantity of data - the bigger issue is diversity in the data, and it's why many humanoid robot demos will struggle to adapt to the real world: "If all the data you have is data that you've intentionally collected, then you almost by definition haven't seen the corner cases. You haven't seen all those edge scenarios that cause failure." Jagdeep says teleoperation is useful for fine-tuning robot behavior, but for pretraining, it's completely inadequate.
