Former NASA Robotics Division Chief, In Fortune May 23: U.S. Humanoids Score 「Nearly 90%」 In Controlled Simulation And 12% On Real Household Tasks. Figure 02's 1,250 Hours At BMW Were Ten Months Of One Single Task. The Country That Defines 「Good Enough To Deploy At Scale」 Sets Global Manufacturing For Decades — And, Per Robert Ambrose, That Country Is Not The United States

Dr. Robert Ambrose, former Chief of NASA's Software, Robotics and Simulation Division, used the Fortune commentary page on May 23 to put a Stanford number on the demo-vs-deployment gap (90% → 12%) and reframe Figure 02's BMW pilot as 「one task for ten months.」 The argument is a policy ask. The Stanford number is the load-bearing detail.
