Positive transfer learning will continue to emerge, meaning more diverse data makes Figure robots broadly better at many tasks.

Positive transfer learning will continue to emerge, meaning more diverse data makes Figure robots broadly better at many tasks. | we've already shown positive transfer now with all this data. Like coming in the robot can journalize better with more information even like more knowledge is better... I hope this will lead to really um uh I think you'll see a lot of positive transfer emerge from a robot that's able to like generalized to a lot of things.
