Humanoid Robotics

• Humanoid robots are becoming more prevalent in various industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, and factories.
• Examples of humanoid robots include Boston Dynamics' Atlas and Engineered Arts' Amica.
• Amica has guide appendages and is known for its facial expressions and movements, which are eerily humanoid.
• Atlas is driven by its own systems and is significantly heavier than other humanoid robots.

Figure

• Figure is a humanoid robotics company founded by Brett Adcock.
• The robot is relatively lightweight and less likely to injure someone compared to other humanoid robots.
• The robot's target weight was 60 kilos and it weighed in at 61 kilos, which is great.
• The robot has a full charge before charging and can be fast charged close to 2C.

Operations

• Figure wants to be able to do fast walking, close to a couple meters a second in terms of walking speed.
• The robot's walking speed is similar to that of a human walking at a fast pace.
• The robot's manipulation speed and reliability and safety targets are also important.
• The robot should be able to do the majority of what humans can do today, but software limitations may limit its capabilities long term.

Software Updates

• Figure's robots can be software updated on a regular basis to increase their capabilities.
• The same way Tesla can be updated on a regular basis.
• The speaker suggests having a Figure versus Optimus wrestling match as well.
• The speaker mentions that Figure is located across the street from a Tesla facility in California South Bay.

Health Product

• The speaker takes a quick break to talk about a health product called Seed Health.
• Seed Health is a microbiome and gut health supplement that supports digestive health, gut health, skin health, heart health, and more.
• The supplement contains 24 clinically studied and scientifically backed probiotic strains that are delivered in a patented C capsule that protects it from stomach acid and ensures that all of it reaches the colon alive with 100% survivability.
• The speaker offers a 25% off first month supply of Seed Health Daily Symbiotic for those who use the code MOONSHOTS at checkout.

Section 2: Technical Specifications

• Figure 5 is a humanoid robot with a runtime of 5 hours, good walking speed, and the ability to lift up to 20 kg.
• All of the short-horizon, low-level processing is done on board the robot, with a substantial amount of compute required for graphics, locomotion controller, and perception systems.
• The robot can communicate with the cloud for certain tasks, but for the most part, it can do as much on board as possible.
• The controller runs at high frequencies and there is a tremendous amount of processing required at very high speeds.

Section 3: Timeline

• The speaker assumes that there will be businesses built on top of their systems.
• One of their friends, Scott Painters, is building a Tesla-based service where you can rent or buy Teslas.
• The expected earliest delivery for a humanoid robot in commercial use is next year (2024).
• The speaker thinks if they miss this delivery by five years, they will miss it by a year or two.

Section 4: Applications and Use Cases

• The speaker is not sure what commercial businesses, other than defense approaches, really have to be robots done.
• The robot is currently working and walking in the office, and the speaker plans to put out videos of its performance.
• The speaker plans to put out videos of the robot's performance every year, with their goal being to show the pure performance of the robot and how it is better than a human.
• The speaker wants to put the robot in a warehouse to do work over and over again, and they think this would be groundbreaking.

Language Models in Humanoid Robotics

• The speaker believes that large language models are coming on just in time for the humanoid robot market.
• The speaker thinks that language can bring a semantic understanding of the world and help humanoids understand what humans are saying.
• The speaker will be building Vision language models to help humanoids understand humans and be able to react to what they're saying.
• The speaker will most likely not be building their own language models but will be able to train Vision language models on the robot system as it relates to the sensor data that's coming off of it.

AI Data Engine

• It's important to build an AI data engine correctly so that data coming off the robot can be trained accurately.
• The neuralis can be trained correctly to deploy over time.
• The more robots that are in the market, the smarter the fleet of robots will become in the future.
• The more applications the robot will learn how to do, the more it will be able to scale.

Humanoid Robots in the Real World

• The speaker wants to get the models out into the real world and get those models learning.
• The speaker thinks there's a huge power curve that they're going to be able to achieve in the future.
• The speaker wants to get out into the real world and get those models learning.
