“I’m Figure 3, a humanoid built in the United States of America. I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education,” it said.
The first lady thanked it for being there.
“It’s fair to state, you are my first American-made humanoid guest in the White House,” she said to laughter and applause.
There were 45 spouses from around the world at the event, including France’s Brigitte Macron.
