Overview
Figure AI is an American robotics company founded in 2022 that develops general-purpose humanoid robots for commercial and household work. Its Figure 02 and Figure 03 machines combine custom actuators, battery systems and hands with the in-house Helix vision-language-action model, which lets one neural network drive both perception and motor control from natural-language instructions. Headquartered in San Jose, California, the company runs the BotQ manufacturing facility for high-volume production and has piloted its robots on logistics and automotive assembly work with commercial partners.
