Part 10/12:
Industrial robots require near-perfect reliability and sophisticated AI, making them challenging and expensive to develop and deploy.
Home robots, while more complex in functionality, are far easier to sell in the early stages because consumers are more tolerant of early flaws, especially if the initial price is within reach.
By focusing on home applications first, Figure AI can generate a large revenue stream, gather real-world data, and iteratively improve their robots. This approach can position them as a serious player, capable of scaling rapidly ahead of competitors who are still refining their industrial robots.
