Overview

Figure AI is a US humanoid company founded in 2022 that builds general-purpose humanoids driven by its in-house Helix AI. Its September 2025 Series C reportedly valued it at $39B. Figure 02 worked for about 11 months at BMW Plant Spartanburg, and its successor Figure 03 took over in 2026. Figure said in April 2026 that its BotQ factory had delivered over 350 third-generation robots and raised output from one Figure 03 per day to one per hour.

Strengths

  • Long-running deployment at an automaker (BMW)
  • End-to-end control with its own Helix VLA model
  • In-house mass production at BotQ
  • Strong fundraising
