When Figure robots work on unloading the dishwasher, they're within a 'millimeter' of every other task because it's all just data.

When Figure robots work on unloading the dishwasher, they're within a 'millimeter' of every other task because it's all just data. | if you did it purely, it's nothing but a neural net and it's purely trained. That means you're within a millimeter of every task you could possibly define. You feel like the millimeter here is just data.
