Figure's data flywheel: 2.4M video uploads and 115K weekly users training humanoids

- Brett Adcock shared weekly stats for Figure's Index data pipeline: 53 minutes of real-world footage uploaded per second, 2.4M video uploads this week, and 115,000 weekly active users.
- The approach: Figure pays people to film everyday chores from a first-person POV; robots learn how humans move and handle objects from those videos, get extra training on three specific jobs, and were then tested in 30 homes.
- He argues this is humanoids' unfair advantage — direct learning from humans with high transfer to robots — calling it the data flywheel powering Helix, unmatched by other robot form factors.
