US firm unveils plan for 100,000-strong humanoid robot army to counter China

CEO Brett Adcock said the deal might make it possible to ship 100,000 humanoid robots over the next four years. 

While details of the new customer remain under wraps, Adcock claims it is “one of the biggest U.S. companies,” spurring immediate speculation that it could be a large retailer or technology enterprise with significant labor needs.

Adcock also reiterated Figure AI’s dual-market strategy. “We’re focused on two markets: commercial and home,” he said. While the commercial side could entail distribution centers, factories, and other industrial sites, the domestic market opens doors to home-use robots assisting with tasks that range from mundane chores to more specialized roles in healthcare.

Players like Agility Robotics, Tesla’s Optimus project, Unitree, Apptronik, Sanctuary AI, and Agibot are all scrambling to secure footholds in this emerging market.

Recent initiatives by Chinese companies and the government represent its commitment to becoming a leader in humanoid robotics. In December 2024, Zhiyuan Robotics, also known as Agibot, showcased its capacity to produce 1,000 humanoid robots by year’s end.

This was followed by MagicLab’s introduction of its third-generation humanoid, MagicBot, aimed to compete with global leaders like Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, further reinforcing its capabilities by deploying a fleet of these robots for industrial training. These milestones go hand in hand with China’s 2023 strategy to embed humanoid robots deeply into its industrial fabric by 2027, aiming for widespread application across various sectors of society.

As Adcock suggested, shipping significant quantities of robots to real-world environments will create a robust feedback loop for AI data collection and iterative design improvements.

So ... what does that mean for the average working person? If so many people are no longer needed, what is the genocidal plan to cull the population?

If they are obsessed with Robots, why not focus on using them to clean up industrial blight, and the blight of debris in cities and broken down communities?
