Figure
An American humanoid robotics startup focused on developing commercially deployable humanoid robots. The company targets industrial production and logistics scenarios as primary application domains for its robotic platforms.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Tesla's vertical integration model gives it structural advantages that startups such as Figure and Agility find hard to replicate, including its own factories providing application scenarios and real data feedback.
Figure's robots and Tesla's Optimus are being tested on tasks such as sorting and simple assembly, using vision-language-action models to map camera images and voice commands into action sequences.
Humanoid robots from companies such as Boston Dynamics, Figure, and Unitree still fall considerably short of industrial-grade mass-production standards on core metrics including continuous operating hours, failure rates, and joint lifespan.
Figure, Physical Intelligence, and Generalist are companies focused on humanoid robots and general-purpose robot intelligence.
Figure has chosen an end-to-end humanoid robot approach, partnering with OpenAI to embed large language models directly into the robot's decision-making layer.
Figure completed a commercial pilot deployment with a BMW factory in 2024.
Figure's humanoid robot new brain Helix 2.5 has officially launched.
Figure officially airdropped robots into 30 ordinary homes they had never seen before and, with zero additional fine-tuning, continuously performed household chores for 4 hours.
Humanoid robot companies such as Boston Dynamics, Figure, and 1X have spent enormous resources yet still struggle to fully overcome the challenges of unstructured environments.
Multiple technology companies have already invested heavily in the humanoid robot sector, demonstrating capabilities such as walking and grasping.
