Complete rager. Weβre not just aiming to be the top AI robotics company - weβre also throwing the best parties π
Exciting news - today, Figure officially became a revenue-generating company!
This week, we delivered F.02 humanoid robots to our commercial client, & they're currently hard at work
It marks 31 months from filing our C-Corp to getting to humanoid robot revenue

They are being delivered to our commercial customer and will never return
Excited to be shipping humanoid robots into the real world, LFG!!
Weβre hiring like crazy, come join us to ship millions of humanoid robots to the world

The team is heads-down designing Generation 2 of the imaging system. We hope to have this complete and validated in 2025
Weβll then begin alpha testing with local schools in California
Weβre pushing - this can't come soon enough; every week kids are dying
Technology, Generation 2
Design is currently underway for our 2nd generation system, and it's a radical upgrade:
> Cheaper per unit
> Increased field of view
> Enhanced AI detections
> Improved penetration through clothes/bags
Technology, Generation 1
Our first-generation system was completed this summer and is now operating daily in our lab
Real guns are used for training data and to test our in-house AI object detector
Our system is capable of detecting weapons through clothing/bags
Besides schools, this technology will work at any public venue:
> Stadiums
> Churches
> Hospitals
> Airports
And Itβs not just weapons, it can also checks for explosives
In the long run, I believe most major venues will have weapon imaging systems like this
Why are we doing this?
School shootings are up ~10x from a decade ago - it's a problem that's getting significantly worse
I believe our solution at Cover can help to prevent these at scale (majority of shootings are unplanned)
This always shocks me, K-12 school shootings since 1966:
Cover has licensed intellectual property from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory related to high frequency terahertz imaging
Other updates:
> Team is 12 people, mostly engineering
> Offices in Bay Area & Pasadena
> Fully self funded; Iβm my own VC
Company Overview:
Cover is designing concealed weapon detection imaging scanners, similar to airport scanners, but with 10x higher frequencies and up to 4-meter stand-off distances
Itβs as safe for human bodies as home Wi-Fi
Last year, I started an AI security company called Cover
Our AI hardware detects guns underneath clothes and bags
Iβm currently funding $10M into it
Here's why weβre doing this and a 12 month update:

Today marks a milestone for Figure: we welcomed our first recruiter after growing to >150 engineers without one!
It's important for hiring managers to take full ownership of hiring / recruiting
Having recruiters readily available can make it challenging to foster that sense of responsibility
