Part 9/13:
Meanwhile, vehicle and robotics giants like China’s Horizon Robotics or UBTech are also in the game, eager to capture a slice of the humanoid robot market. The competitive landscape is heating up as companies race to scale production, refine AI algorithms, and reduce costs.
An especially important aspect is the training and data pipeline—Tesla’s approach utilizes a continuous feedback loop from real-world operation, a methodology that Figure AI is still developing. The latter's reliance on external compute providers and secretive AI development plans leave open questions about their long-term scalability.
