History[edit]

Founded by Brett Adcock, Figure demonstrated rapid early progress in humanoid robotics, leveraging synthetic data from NVIDIA Isaac Sim. The company’s humanoid robots were first deployed in testing environments, such as BMW's production line, to demonstrate their real-world applications.

Technology and Partnerships[edit]

Figure’s robots utilize NVIDIA’s robotics stack, with models trained on NVIDIA DGX for large-scale AI capabilities and designed using the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. Despite having limited in-house AI expertise, Figure's collaboration with OpenAI has furthered its AI models’ conversational abilities, marking a unique blend of perception and interaction capabilities. Figure's Series B funding announcement, amounting to $675 million, supports continued research and deployment of these robotic solutions in industrial settings.

Goals and Future Directions[edit]

Figure aims to commercialize its robots for industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with a potential consumer rollout on the horizon. Their humanoid models are designed for adaptability across different environments, driven by evolving AI, perception, and mobility technologies.
