The future is here!

On Wednesday afternoon, First Lady Melania Trump had a special guest at the White House for her Fostering the Future Together summit on AI education.

The First Lady began the second day of her tech summit at the White House by walking out with a U.S.-built humanoid robot.

As she entered the summit, which consists of leaders from 45 nations and over 28 technology organizations, she shared, “It’s fair to state you’re my first American-made humanoid guest in the White House.”

Per The Washington Times:

A talking humanoid robot joined first lady Melania Trump for her international summit on technology in Washington, an eye-popping start to the second day of the session.

The robot walked down a corridor with Mrs. Trump before welcoming guests in multiple languages in the East Room.

The white and black robot then wandered back down the hall while Mrs. Trump joked about it being the first “American-made humanoid guest in the White House.”

The first lady is hosting the spouses of world leaders this week as part of her Fostering the Future coalition. Its goal is to improve children’s lives through education and technology, harnessing artificial intelligence while mitigating potential risks tied to AI.

Time Magazine awarded the Figure 03 humanoid robot as one of the best inventions of 2025.

The robot can perform tasks around the home, such as folding clothes and loading the dishwasher.

Figure AI, the company behind the robot, hopes to put the bots to work across the U.S. economy.
