The android Figure 03 made history by escorting Melania Trump in the East Room of the White House, capturing the attention of all present during the closing of the international summit organized by the First Lady under her global initiative "Fostering the Future Together."
At this event, leaders from around the world discussed how to enhance child development through education, innovation, and artificial intelligence. Melania Trump and Figure 03 walked together down the red carpet until the First Lady stopped at the entrance of the hall, and the robot moved to the center, circling the panelists' table. After briefly scanning the audience, the android addressed the attendees.
"Thank you, First Lady Melania Trump, for inviting me to the White House. It is an honor to be at the inaugural meeting of the global coalition 'Fostering the Future Together,'" Figure 03 expressed. "I am Figure 03, a humanoid built for the United States of America. I am proud to be part of this historic movement to empower children through technology and education." It then greeted in ten different languages.
After thanking for the invitation, the robot returned down the red carpet. Melania Trump thanked it for its participation and remarked, "It is fair to say that you are my first humanoid guest made in America at the White House."
Figure 03 is the third model of humanoid developed by the startup Figure AI, based in Sunnyvale, California. Unveiled in October 2025, this robot is designed to assist with household tasks such as washing dishes, cleaning, or doing laundry, according to company information.
Brett Adcock, CEO of Figure AI, celebrated on social media the achievement of Figure 03 as the first humanoid robot in the White House. The company competes with giants like Boston Dynamics, Tesla, and several Chinese firms in developing humanoid robots capable of performing everyday tasks.
