The robot uprising won't be televised—it'll be announced in a funding round. Forget slow, clunky machines in a lab. The race for the world's first true humanoid robot just went into hyperdrive, and the finish line might be the end of work as we know it.

In this episode, we're diving into the global robotics arms race that just exploded into the mainstream. We'll follow the money—over a billion dollars from giants like Nvidia and Intel—to a secretive startup called Figure. They're building Figure 03, a machine whispered to be the world's first AGI Humanoid: a thinking, learning robot in a human body.

But this isn't just an American story. The battle is global. We'll show you the UK's new logistics-focused HMND01, designed to run our warehouses, and then jump to China, where Forier Intelligence is showing off its N1 robot doing backflips and cartwheels. This is the new space race, fought with acrobatic agility and artificial brains.
This isn't science fiction anymore. We're breaking down who is winning, what this means for your job, and how close we really are to a world run by humanoid robots.

The future is being built right now, and you can't afford to be left in the dark. Hit play and get the full intelligence briefing. When you're done, tell me in the comments: are you excited or terrified? Let's figure this out together.
