Melania Trump introduces first US-made humanoid robot 'Figure 03'

ALABAWABA - U.S. First Lady Melania Trump stunned attendees at the White House after walking side by side with the first American-made humanoid robot on Wednesday.

During an education summit she hosted at the White House, Melania Trump showed up along with a humanoid robot, called "Figure 03".

Videos from the summit were shared by the White House, showing Figure 03 mechanically walking next to Meania, even welcoming people inside the room in several different languages and waving its hand.

"Figure 03, thank you for joining me," the first lady said. "It’s fair to state you are my first American-made humanoid guest in the White House," she added.

The summit focused on AI and education; Melania welcomed 45 female world leaders and talked to them about the use of the technology in the lives of youth, including through AI humanoid educators.

What to know about Figure 03, the US humanoid robot?

The robot was created by the AI robotics company called "Figure," one of the top companies in the burgeoning AI sub-industry racing to create lifelike robots. 

Last year, the company confirmed it had surpassed $1 billion in funding, which included investments from Nvidia and LG Technology Ventures. CEO and founder Brett Adcock celebrated in a X post that the robot made "history as the first humanoid robot in the White House."
