3 years ago we only had 2 humanoid robots…Never thought I’d say this, but we’re now building so many robots that we need storage space for them

One per hour. 8760/year. I don't expect further x24 acceleration in another 4 months, but optimistically: I can see a few tens of thousands made in 2026. By H2 2027 they'll have better policy and start affecting productivity in the US.

@adcock_brett The factory is becoming the nursery. 🤖😂

@adcock_brett Autonomous systems need more than performance metrics. They need signals showing whether goals, assumptions and human control remain stable over time. That is ASA’s territory.

@adcock_brett Amazing! Who’s buying them? How much does one F03 cost?

From 2 robots to needing warehouse space in 3 years. The humanoid robot scaling curve is starting to look like the early SpaceX reusability curve. 1/day to 1/hr in 120 days is a 24x production improvement. If this keeps up, the bottleneck shifts from building them to deploying them.

@adcock_brett Great Brett, It is possible to give us a chance to operate remotely a figured robot? . We already developed a software to control remotly an aobo robot, but we will love to develop a software to control a figure3

@Marvinma12 @adcock_brett You’re forgetting 1X Technologies NEO. Although they’re heavily targeting homes up front. But they’re in great shape; about to start shipping sometime this year. Over 10,000 preorders in 5 days last October. I think one source said now 20,000 (but can’t confirm).

@adcock_brett @Grok how much will they cost compared to optimus from tesla and when do each of these two companies expect to ship them to consumers

@adcock_brett @grok how many was there in late April? How many today based on 1 robot per hour after that report??? estimate how many today.

@adcock_brett I can store some in my house 🤷‍♂️

@adcock_brett 15,125 per minute to go match humans birth rates per hour!

Which, if current rate of production increase at minimum holds, is only a year from now!

Crazy thought!

@PlutonianGray @adcock_brett I see, @grok check for the validity of this claim

@adcock_brett The storage problem is the first of many physical constraints. What is the total power consumption per robot, both idle and active, and how does that scale against datacenter rack power density?

@adcock_brett @grok when will they be sold to companies and people?

@adcock_brett @adcock_brett Get in touch. We are building a city with plenty of space and opportunity for them. Happy to collaborate with @Figure_robot http://www.futuraisnow.com

@adcock_brett The supply curve is solved. The demand curve is the interesting problem now — which tasks actually justify a humanoid robot vs a $3k fixed-arm robot vs a software agent that costs nothing per unit.
