First Lady Melania Trump Arrives with Humanoid Robot at Tech Summit

The summit convened leaders from 45 nations and 28 tech organizations to promote AI-driven education, with Figure 03 robot delivering multilingual greetings at the White House event.

  • On Wednesday, First Lady Melania Trump hosted the Fostering the Future Together Initiative Global Summit at the White House, where she walked alongside Figure 03, a humanoid robot created by the company Figure.
  • Standing 5 feet 8 inches tall, Figure 03 was designed by Figure as an autonomous tool for delegating household tasks, including laundry, dishwashing, and cleaning.
  • CEO Brett Adcock tweeted, "So proud to see F.03 make history as the first humanoid robot in the White House." The robot uses the company's VLA model, Helix, to process real-time data and respond to verbal commands.
  • During the summit, Figure 03 greeted participants in various languages and told Melania Trump, "Thank you First Lady Melania Trump for inviting me," before departing the room.
  • The Trump administration has reportedly explored humanoid robots for potential military aid, while Adcock previously suggested robots could address U.S. labor shortages by reducing operational costs.
