Melania Trump Unveils Humanoid Robot at the White House — AP
First Lady Melania Trump held an unusual meeting in the East Room of the White House, appearing before the public accompanied by a humanoid robot.
This was reported by the Associated Press.
The event took place as part of the summit for her global initiative “Shaping the Future Together,” where leading experts discussed the integration of artificial intelligence into educational processes for children.
A next-generation robot named Figure 03 confidently walked the red carpet alongside the First Lady and addressed the audience with a speech.
The humanoid thanked everyone for the invitation and greeted summit participants in eleven languages, positioning itself as a tool for empowering the younger generation through innovation.
The First Lady of the United States highlighted the uniqueness of the moment, noting that this was her first humanoid guest of American origin.
The device was developed by the California-based startup Figure AI, which unveiled the third iteration of its robots in October 2025 to assist with household chores.
The company’s CEO, Brett Adcock, confirmed the historic significance of the event, as this marks the first official appearance of a humanoid robot within the walls of the U.S. President’s residence.
In the tech market, this startup is currently locked in fierce competition with giants such as Elon Musk’s Tesla and Boston Dynamics.

Apple also released iOS 26.4 with AI integration and enhanced security.
