Figure AI Company Profile

Figure AI is a U.S. founded in 2022humanoid robota company focused on developing general-purpose humanoid robots aimed at solving labor shortages through AI-powered solutions. Its core products include two robots, Figure 01 and Figure 02, with high degree of freedom design, long endurance and fine manipulation capabilities.Figure 02 adopts an all-harmonic solution with 39 degrees of freedom in the whole body, and the battery capacity has been upgraded to 2.25kWh, with an endurance of up to 5 hours, and is planned to be extended to more than 20 hours. The company's self-developed Helix model achieves 200Hz high-frequency continuous control, supporting multi-robot collaboration and zero-sample generalization capability.

Figure AI has partnered with companies such as BMW to use robots in automotive manufacturing plants and plans to deliver 100,000 robots over the next four years, targeting scenarios ranging from industrial manufacturing to home services. As of February 2025, its valuation has exceeded $39.5 billion.

Core Products and Technologies

• Figure 01: The company's first humanoid robot, designed for environments where manpower is in short supply or where tasks are demanding and dangerous. Standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds, it is battery-powered and can handle tasks such as walking, lifting and moving objects, and making coffee using a Keurig coffee maker.Figure 01's technology includes a camera, LIDAR, and haptic sensors, and its movements are powered by a complex system of joints and actuators, enabling it to utilize fine-motor skills and perform repetitive actions without fatigue.
• Figure 02: Launching in late 2024, it inherits the features and appearance of its predecessor, but looks more refined, with previously visible wires and battery packs hidden behind a metal panel.The Figure 02 features Figure AI's fourth-generation hand design, a six-camera computer vision system, improved computational power, voice-to-speech inference, and a 2.25 KWh battery with battery life that is twice as long. It can carry up to 25 pounds per hand and work for up to 10 hours.The Figure 02 has been tested at a BMW Motorrad facility, working virtually 24/7, seven days a week, and has successfully learned to perform a variety of assembly tasks.
• Helix model: Figure AI's self-developed vision-verbal-action model, which achieves 200Hz high-frequency continuous control, covers 35 degrees of freedom (including fingers, torso, etc.), and supports multi-robot collaboration and zero-sample generalization capability (manipulating untrained objects). Completes end-to-end tasks with a single neural network, eliminating the need to train separate models for different tasks.

Market Performance and Customers

• Financing: Figure AI quickly received huge investments including OpenAI, Microsoft, NVIDIA and others after its inception, raising a total of $675 million and valuing the company at one point at $2.6 billion. As of February 2025, its valuation has exceeded $39.5 billion.
• client base: Figure AI's first major customer is BMW, where the two companies are working together to deploy robots to automotive manufacturing plants to perform high-precision and repetitive tasks. In addition, Figure AI has signed a second "largest U.S. company" customer and plans to deliver 100,000 robots over the next four years, targeting industrial manufacturing, home services and other scenarios.

Technological Advantage and Innovation Capability

• High degree of freedom design: The Figure 02 utilizes a fully harmonic scheme with 39 degrees of freedom throughout the body, far exceeding common industry designs (e.g., 28 in the Tesla Optimus).
• Battery life optimization: The battery capacity has been boosted to 2.25kWh, with a range of 5 hours and plans to extend it to more than 20 hours.
• Handyman Structures: Dexterity close to that of a human hand for fine manipulation (e.g., grasping fragile objects).
• End-to-end AI modeling: Figure AI works to build an end-to-end AI model focused on being dedicated to specific hardware, while stating that to address embodied AI at scale in the real world, robotic AI must be vertically integrated.
