By next year (2027), Figure expects to show real general purpose capability inside the robot; possibly within months.

By next year (2027), Figure expects to show real general purpose capability inside the robot; possibly within months. | So I think we'll see like we're trying to push and continue to pull ahead but I think hopefully by next year by next year we can basically really show like real general purpose inside of the robot. Maybe even as soon as this year like um I mean listen it could happen in a couple months.

Watch events: Figure 03 shipment volume; BMW, 2nd customer deployment count

So I think we'll see like we're trying to push and continue to pull ahead but I think hopefully by next year by next year we can basically really show like real general purpose inside of the robot. Maybe even as soon as this year like um I mean listen it could happen in a couple months.
