Figure AI robot Figure 03 became the first humanoid robot to enter the White House on March 25, attending a global summit on technology and education. The robot delivered a speech in 11 languages, drawing widespread attention.

On March 25, American robotics company Figure AI brought its latest product Figure 03 humanoid robot to the White House, setting a historic record.

This was the first time a humanoid robot attended a White House event, personally led on stage by First Lady Melania Trump.

The event was a Global Alliance Summit hosted by the White House, focused on technology and children's education.

Figure 03 introduced itself as a humanoid robot manufactured in the United States and delivered remarks in 11 languages fluently.

The robot walked slowly along White House hallways with enthusiastic responses from the audience.

Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock stated that this appearance marks a historic moment for the company.
