Figure AI

Humanoid robotics company developing general-purpose robots for commercial and, eventually, domestic use.

Overview

Figure builds humanoid robots and the AI models that control them, targeting labour-constrained environments such as logistics and manufacturing. It is one of the most-watched physical AI companies.

Products

  • Humanoid robot platforms
  • Robot control models

AI activity

Developing vision-language-action models for humanoid control and running commercial pilots.

Market position

A leading humanoid contender in a field with many well-funded rivals. Watch: published deployment metrics, unit economics and manufacturing scale.

Technology

Humanoid Robots

78

General-purpose machines built for human environments.

Humanoid robots are bipedal or human-form machines designed to operate in spaces built for people, using general-purpose AI models to perform varied tasks without task-specific programming.

Physical AI

87

Intelligence that perceives and acts in the physical world.

Physical AI refers to AI systems embodied in machines that sense their environment, reason about it and take physical actions: robots, autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial equipment driven by foundation models.
