A humanoid robot on Wednesday delivered a speech at the White House, introducing the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump. The robot, identifying itself as “Figure 3,” walked alongside Melania into the White House, drawing curiosity and highlighting the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. The humanoid robot was developed by Figure AI, a tech company based in Sunnyvale, California. “Figure 3, it is fair to state you are my first American-made humanoid guest in the White House," Melania said. While commending the progress of the AI industry, she emphasised the adoption of humanoid technology in institutions and facilities.
