Visitors See Multiple Figure Humanoids Walking Unsupervised at HQ

On September 10, Robert Scoble (Scobleizer) and Ben Pielstick visited Figure's San Jose headquarters and reported multiple humanoid robots walking around the building with no engineers supervising, offering first-hand evidence of the company's autonomous deployment and scaling capability. CEO Brett Adcock posted the same day that the campus felt "like 2050."

Confirmed

Scobleizer reported multiple humanoids walking unsupervised at Figure HQ; Ben Pielstick described the same scene, corroborating each other.
CEO Brett Adcock posted that the campus is "like 2050," spread via Scobleizer's repost.
Scobleizer tested in 102°F (39°C) heat to see whether the actuators would overheat or fail, probing reliability in hot conditions.
EdisonGPT's reply included on-site video, supporting the observation that "Figure is scaling."
Per GregCook2011's repost, Scoble estimated a Waymo passes the HQ every minute, quipping that AGI hasn't arrived because the robots haven't learned to hail one.

Why it matters

This adds another unsupervised-operation sighting after Figure demonstrated its Helix-model robots working in factories, suggesting growing autonomy maturity.
The heat test shows observers now care about real-world reliability, not just demos.
Commenters (relayed by Brian821) look forward to robots doing yard work and cleaning, reflecting public expectations for practical use.
