What they're building

Humanoid robotics plus foundation models. Figure is one of the companies trying to turn AI into general-purpose physical labor. Figure 02 completed an 11-month pilot at BMW's Spartanburg plant (1,250+ hours, 90,000+ parts loaded, 99%+ placement accuracy); Figure 03, with the in-house Helix model, wireless charging and a 2.3 kWh battery, has taken over logistics work there and at Catalyst Brands.

Latest developments
  • Figure 03 now handles logistics sequencing at BMW Spartanburg; Figure 02 retired.
  • Valued at $39B after a Series C of more than $1B (September 2025).
  • BotQ factory built to produce 12,000 humanoids per year.
Why it matters

The best-funded Western humanoid company, with the only widely documented 11-month factory pilot. It sets the pace everyone else is measured against.
