Adam Davis owns three high-cost silicon sex dolls named Lara, each costing $2,500, and interacts with them using a chatbot. Despite predictions of widespread sex robots by 2026, current technology remains limited to static dolls and rudimentary robotics, with venture capital heavily investing in humanoid robotics.

Figure AI and Catalyst Brands have partnered to deploy humanoid robots in warehouse operations at Catalyst's Reno, Nevada distribution center. The robots will handle repetitive sorting and packing tasks, aiming to modernize supply chain operations while allowing human workers to focus on higher-value work. Concerns about job displacement remain despite the focus on behind-the-scenes tasks.

Figure AI's humanoid robots, powered by Helix-02 AI, completed over 24 hours of continuous autonomous package sorting in a warehouse test, surpassing the initial 8-hour goal. The robots sorted 28,000 packages without human intervention and were nicknamed by viewers, with visible name tags added by the company.

Figure AI's humanoid robots have been livestreaming package handling for nearly a week, impressing tech enthusiasts and spurring merchandise sales. The demo featured Figure 03 robots inspecting barcodes and placing packages on a conveyor belt autonomously. The event has become a viral sensation, with some calling it the greatest product demo since Steve Jobs.
