Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock revealed that for the first time, the company has more robot employees than human ones. The robotics startup, which develops advanced humanoid robots, shared a graph showing robots outnumbering humans as of 2026. Adcock also posted images of robots ready for deployment, highlighting rapid progress in autonomous capabilities. Figure 03 robots have demonstrated impressive performance, including processing nearly 250,000 packages with near-human sorting speeds and completing long autonomous operations without hardware failure. The company competes with Tesla, Agility Robotics, and others in scaling humanoid robots for industrial use. This milestone underscores the accelerating shift toward AI-powered physical labor in manufacturing and logistics environments.
