Figure AI Boss to Nikhil Kamath: Your Personal Thinking Robot Coming at SUV Price
Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock: Humanoid robots that think and do chores will cost as much as an SUV.
Artificial intelligence may soon reshape daily life in ways once confined to science fiction. Figure AI founder and CEO Brett Adcock has said that his company’s advanced humanoid robots — designed to work, think, and adapt autonomously — will be available for roughly the price of a standard SUV. In a recent conversation on billionaire Nikhil Kamath’s podcast WTF Online, Adcock described the project as “the biggest technological transition since the Internet.”
According to Adcock, the next generation of humanoids can perform both physical and cognitive tasks that go well beyond current automation. “We’re building robots that can think, reason, and adapt in the real world — not pre-programmed machines, but systems that learn,” he explained. These humanoids can carry out domestic chores such as washing dishes, folding laundry, and moving heavy objects, while also being capable of performing complex analytical calculations and problem-solving.
Described as “the ultimate general-purpose machines,” these AI-powered robots are still in the testing phase but have already shown promise in industrial and laboratory scenarios. Their versatility could make them invaluable in high-risk environments where human labor poses safety concerns — such as hazardous industrial operations, precision manufacturing, or medical research under extreme conditions. The ability to combine intelligence with mobility, Adcock said, could make humanoids as transformative as smartphones or the Internet.

Adcock emphasized that Figure AI’s breakthrough lies in the fusion of robotics and machine learning. Unlike automated systems with fixed functions, these humanoids continuously evolve through data-driven self-improvement and situational awareness. “We’re not creating another assembly-line robot,” Adcock noted. “These machines can process new information, make autonomous decisions, and adjust to unfamiliar situations on the fly.”
While public availability remains some time away, analysts are already calling the development a potential tipping point in the global AI revolution. As debates around the ethical and economic implications of automation intensify, Adcock’s vision underscores a future where humanoid robots are not just tools but companions capable of reasoning, learning, and integrating seamlessly into both homes and workplaces.
