Figure

Figure is a U.S.-based AI robotics company pioneering General-purpose humanoid robots designed to operate safely and effectively in human environments. Unlike task-specific automation tools, Figure focuses on full-body, real-world embodiment—enabling robots to walk, grasp, navigate cluttered spaces, and execute complex physical tasks without pre-programmed scripts. Its mission centers on solving global labor shortages and expanding human capability through physically grounded artificial general intelligence.

What it does

Figure develops and deploys humanoid robots—starting with the Figure 01 and evolving to Figure 02 and the upcoming Figure 03—that combine high-fIDElity mechanical design with proprietary AI models trAIned for real-time 3D perception, motion planning, and dexterous manipulation. These robots are not rEMOte-controlled avatars but Autonomous Agents capable of interpreting natural language commands, adapting to dynamic environments, and perfORMing multi-step tasks like operating coffee machines, sorting packages, or assisting on automotive assembly lines.

Key capabilities

• Helix Control Model: A self-developed, end-to-end neural network that unifies perception, planning, and ACTuation—enabling cross-robot collaboration and zero-shot task execution without fine-tuning.
• Real-World 3D Navigation: Powered by NVIDIA Isaac Simulation and onboard 360° sensing, Figure robots maintain balance on uneven terrain, avoid obstacles in under 0.1 SEConds, and adjust grip force at 0.1N precision—even for fragile objects.
• Industrial Integration: Already deployed in BMW factories and logistics warehouses, Figure robots handle repetitive, hazardous, or physically demanding work—achieving up to 18 hours of daily Operation and processing one package every 3.5 seconds.
• Modular Hardware architecture: Designed for scalability and repairability, with Standardized components targeting sub-$20,000 production cost for consumer-facing models.

Who it is for

Figure targets industrial Enterprises facing labor constraints—including automotive, logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing sectors—as well as future adopters in elder care, home assistance, and extraterrestrial infrastructure. Its Technology is especially valuable for organizations seeking scalable, adaptable automation that functions in unstructured, human-built spaces rather than fixed, sensor-laden facilities.

How to get started

Figure currently operates via enterprise partnerships and pilot deployments. There is no public API, developer sandbox, or self-serve platform. Interested businesses can request evaluation access through its official website. academic researchers and developers may engage via liMITed technical briefings or joint initiatives announced through Figure’s engineering blog and partner channels.

Pricing and access caveat

Figure does not publish public pricing; all commercial engagements are negotiated indiVidually and tied to deployment scope, support level, and integration requirements. As of late 2025, Figure remains in pre-commercial Scale-Up—its BotQ factory is ramping toward 1,000 units per month by 2026. Access requires direct contact and is not available via subscription, credits, or freemium tiers. Note that performance metrics—including error rates in non-structured environments—may vary significantly between lab demonstrations and real-world conditions.
