Brett Adcock, CEO of Figure

Humanoid robotics represents the next frontier in global productivity, with the potential to automate a significant portion of the world's GDP. Figure is leading this transition by vertically integrating its hardware and software stack, moving beyond hobbyist-grade research to deploy autonomous, reliable robots in commercial settings. By designing proprietary motors, sensors, and AI models, the company maintains strict control over its supply chain and operational quality. Beyond robotics, the guest is applying a similar high-intensity, founder-led approach to other critical sectors, including terahertz imaging for school safety through Cover and advanced AI interfaces via Hark. The ultimate goal is to achieve general-purpose robotics that can perform any task a human can, effectively bringing artificial general intelligence into the physical world at scale.
