Figure

Figure is an AI robotics company working on the world's first commercially available, fully autonomous humanoid robot. The company's vision is to develop a general-purpose humanoid robot that can be used across multiple industries, helping to alleviate labor shortages and remove people from dangerous jobs.

By giving its humanoid robot, Figure 01, a human shape, it can perform a variety of tasks in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and retail. The robot is designed to have human dexterity so it can open doors, use tools, navigate, climb stairs, lift boxes and more.

Here are some of the robot's specs:

• Height: 0'6"
• Payload: 0kg
• Weight: 0kg
• Runtime: 0hr
• Speed: 0.0M/S
• System: HOOYVBDL

Figure's mission is to amplify human abilities through the power of AI, helping to solve the massive labor shortages and undesirable jobs that afflict the workforce. With autonomous humanoids, the company hopes to boost productivity, lower labor costs and improve people's lives.

Figure's team has more than 100 years of experience in AI and humanoids, and it's attracted top robotics and AI talent. The company has raised funding from high-profile investors including Bezos, OpenAI and Nvidia.

Pricing details aren't yet available. But Figure's long-term plan is to make its humanoids available to businesses and eventually to households and off-world uses. The company's hope is that its product will help humanity, which is why it's working on a high-quality, commercially viable product.

As a project to bring next-gen AI to the workplace, Figure has the potential to help solve problems for industries that are struggling to find enough workers and that have jobs that are dangerous. By bringing autonomous humanoids into those settings, the company hopes to build a better future with higher productivity and living standards.
