Figure AI
EssentialAn American humanoid robot company, maker of the Figure robot series and the Helix model.
Figure AI was founded in 2022 by Brett Adcock, who previously founded electric-aircraft company Archer Aviation and hiring platform Vettery; the company is headquartered in San Jose, California. It builds both humanoid robot hardware (Figure 01, 02, 03) and the robot 'brain': its in-house vision-language-action model Helix (February 2025), followed by the whole-body-control Helix 02 and, in September 2026, Helix 2.5; it also built its own BotQ factory for mass production. In January 2024 it began an in-plant pilot with BMW; a model partnership with OpenAI ended after about a year. On funding, it raised a $675 million Series B in February 2024 and a Series C of more than $1 billion in September 2025 at a post-money valuation of $39 billion. According to reports, by April 2026 it had delivered more than 350 units of Figure 03.
ExampleHelix 2.5, running on Figure 03, completed zero-shot tasks such as tidying the living room, folding towels, and making the bed in 30 homes it had never visited before.
