Figure AI, Inc. is a San Jose, California-based company founded in 2022 by Brett Adcock (creator of Archer Aviation and Vettery) that develops general-purpose autonomous humanoid robots. The company has produced three generations of humanoid robots (Figure 01, 02, 03) and a proprietary vision-language-action (VLA) model called Helix, which enables robots to interact with their environment without extensive manual training. In February 2024, Figure AI raised $675 million in a Series B round at a $2.6 billion valuation from investors including Microsoft, NVIDIA, Jeff Bezos, the OpenAI Startup Fund, and others. At the same time, it announced a partnership with OpenAI (which concluded after approximately one year) and the deployment of robots at the BMW Manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. In September 2025, the company closed a Series C round exceeding $1 billion at a $39 billion valuation, led by Parkway Venture Capital. Figure AI operates its own manufacturing facility, BotQ, in California, with a target capacity of 12,000 robots per year. Figure 03, unveiled in October 2025, was redesigned with home applications in mind.
