Bombshell Figure Robotics Lawsuit: Humanoid Bot Industry Put On Notice!

🚨 The lawsuit filed against @figureai robotics alleges retaliation against the company’s former head of safety for documenting his concerns about the robot’s force profile, emergency-stop design, injury risk, and internal safety culture. His emails, escalation patterns, and termination now sit at the centre of a case that could influence how humanoid robot companies operate across the entire sector. Phil Trubey and Scott Walter are investors in Figure. They join me on @overthehorizon to help me navigate the complexities of this lawsuit and the engineering reality behind humanoid safety, why physical e-stops are not as straightforward as they sound, how industrial robots handle force-limiting, and what the emerging safety standards (including A3) mean for @figureai, @tesla Optrimus, Agility, 1X, Apptronik, UBTECH, and others. 🚨We also explore 👇🏽 ‼️What the lawsuit gets right and wrong ‼️Why firing a senior safety officer in California carries massive legal risk ‼️Whether the “home robot” dream has overtaken engineering reality ‼️The role of demos, perception, and fundraising pressure ‼️What safety should mean in the age of general-purpose humanoids #FigureRobotics #HumanoidRobots #Robotics #AI #SafetyEngineering #RobotSafety #FigureLawsuit #Optimus #TeslaBot #Automation #PhysicalAI #FutureOfWork #Engineering

Sunday Robotics Memo Bot | The MVP Robot That Could Win the Home Race

🚨🤖 Meet the first home robot that actually works. The @SundayRobotics Memo bot has stunned the robotics world with its simple design, zero-shot generalisation and real-world household skills. It loads and unloads the dishwasher, clears tables, folds laundry, handles wine glasses and sorts cutlery with a basic three-finger configuration. 📌In this expert breakdown, Scott Walter, Gustav Andersson and Mehrdad Farimani join me on @overthehorizon to analyse what Memo gets right and what it cannot do yet. We look at the design choices, the imitation learning strategy, the Skild glove, the telescopic torso, the 360 camera setup and why this minimal robot might be the real breakthrough for homes, cafés, Airbnbs and canteens. 📌We also discuss whether Memo threatens bipedal humanoids like @tesla Optimus and @figureai, and whether China can copy this design faster than anyone expects. ‼️LINK TO MERPHI HUMANOID POSTERS 👇🏽 https://merphi.com/downloads ‼️Link to Marwa's channel 👇🏽 https://www.youtube.com/@UCuORS2hOBqsUJEgE645iWDQ #SundayRobotics #MemoBot #HomeRobots #HumanoidRobots #AIRobotics #Optimus #Figure01 #RobotFuture #AIInHomes #RobotRevolution #OverTheHorizon
