Figure AI

Figure AI develops AI-powered, general-purpose humanoid robots intended to carry out physical work that is unsafe, undesirable or unfilled. The company frames its market around a labour gap: more than 10m such jobs go unfilled in America each year. Its robot is designed to operate autonomously in unpredictable human environments and is described by the company as the world's first commercially viable humanoid robot.

The technical work spans AI, humanoid robotics, autonomous robotics and the automation of physical tasks. The company reports more than 100 years of combined AI and humanoid experience across its team. Target sectors for deployment include manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, homes and elderly care, with a base in the United States and planned deployment globally.

Figure AI states a mission of expanding human capabilities through advanced AI, with an emphasis on removing dangerous work and on a long-term, generational vision of a safer and more efficient future. Further details on founding year, headcount and funding were not disclosed.
