Brett Adcock highlights transfer learning as the “”unfair advantage”” of humanoids, where a single NN transfers knowledge across diverse tasks. He cites how the success rate of a fridge-related task jumped from 60% to 90% after including non-fridge data in the data set.

Figure just set a new standard in unedited humanoid demos. They completed 24 hours of autonomous work on a live stream, where three Figure 03 robots took turns processing delivery packages. At a rate of ~21 packages/minute, that is less than 3 seconds per package.
