Figure AI pitted a human intern against its Figure 03 autonomous humanoid fleet in a head-to-head package sorting trial. While humanity secured a narrow victory, the machine fleet proved its real value through unbroken persistence.

Boston Dynamics has showcased its all-electric Atlas robot carrying a 100-pound mini-fridge, highlighting a closing sim-to-real gap and a critical shift toward robust physical intelligence.

In a new interview, the Meta Chief AI Scientist and AMI Labs founder doubles down on world models, arguing that the massive data requirements of current humanoid demos prove the Vision-Language-Action (VLA) approach is a dead end.

Figure's unedited autonomous livestream has crossed 61 hours, sorting over 80,000 packages. CEO Brett Adcock addresses teleoperation skepticism, details a total shift away from Chinese supply chains, and teases Figure 4 as an "iPhone 1 moment" for robotics.

Less than two months after its massive Series A, RJ Scaringe’s Mind Robotics has secured an additional $400 million to scale its "Physical AI" platform within the automotive sector and beyond.
