FIGURE 03 BOT REVEALED: The Moment Embodied AI Became Real
🚨 The Figure 03 humanoid bot reveal marks a turning point for the entire robotics industry. Powered by the Helix AI brain, Figure 03 performs real-world tasks - folding laundry, cleaning, handling objects, even interacting safely around people - with no tele-operation!
In this @overthehorizon expert panel, Scott Walter, Gustav Andersson and John Gibbs @drknowitall help me dissect what makes Figure 03 revolutionary:
‼️Autonomy vs tele-op - how Helix actually works
‼️Human-centred design: Uniforms, venting, tactile feedback
‼️Hand innovation: Palm cameras, fingertip sensors, and fine-grained control
‼️Mobility & power: 5-hour runtime, 2 kW charging, and natural gait mechanics
‼️Manufacturing scale - why 12,000 bots per year could help redefine industrial labour
🚨 This is more than a robot launch - it’s the birth of embodied AI.

Foundation Robotics: San Francisco’s Dual-Use Bet on the Future of Work and War
🚨 San Francisco startup Foundation Robotics is building humanoid robots for work and war.
The humanoid bot startup is taking a bold dual-use bet on the future of industry and defence, designing humanoids that can run factory lines today and support military logistics tomorrow.
In this @overthehorizon episode, Sankaet Pathak, founder & CEO of Foundation Robotics, joins Gustav Andersson and Scott Walter to unpack the company’s radical approach - from cycloidal actuators and real-world AI training to the ethics and economics of humanoids built to work all day, every day.
We explore how Foundation plans to scale from dozens to thousands of robots, why it’s not afraid to talk about defence applications, and what its success could mean for the future of labour, warfare, and national strategy.
