Figure robots walk unsupervised at San Jose HQ, stress-tested in 102°F heat
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-10
Scobleizer visits Figure's San Jose headquarters where multiple humanoid robots walk around with no engineers supervising. He uses the 102°F weather as a stress test to see if any actuators overheat or fail in warm conditions — a third-party look at Figure's unsupervised deployment readiness.
