Figure AI’s Humanoid Robot Walks 348 Miles in Just 9 Days

Figure AI’s latest humanoid robot has reportedly walked 348 miles without leaving a treadmill.

On Oct. 19, Figure CEO Brett Adcock reported that the company’s Figure 03 humanoid had logged approximately 1.2 million steps over nine days during an endurance experiment. According to Adcock, the test began as a side project intended to stress the robot’s hardware and expose potential mechanical failures.

The milestone offers another glimpse into the progress of humanoid robotics. But for manufacturers and warehouse operators, the bigger question is whether impressive results in controlled environments can translate into reliable performance during everyday operations.

When the sandbox breaks: Why AI model containment is the next enterprise security discipline

OpenAI has hardened the environment in which it trains its frontier models. It restricted internet access during reinforcement learning, reinforced isolation between computing environments, and then deployed fleets of advanced AI agents to find out whether those protections could survive a deliberate attack. They could not, entirely. The tests exposed
