Figure

Figure is a robotics company that develops and manufactures general-purpose humanoid robots, aimed at creating intelligent machines capable of performing a range of everyday tasks.

Based on demonstrations, Figure robots can perform tasks such as tidying items, washing dishes, doing laundry, and handling material movement in commercial settings like sorting and transport.

Figure’s robots run on a proprietary Helix vision–language–action (VLA) AI system used for environment understanding, reasoning and motion control.

Figure robots support natural language voice interaction, allowing users to assign tasks through conversational commands.

According to the company’s published demonstrations, the robots complete tasks autonomously, relying on the Helix AI system and onboard sensors for perception and action.

At present, Figure’s robots are primarily aimed at commercial partners and specific application scenarios. The company states the products are designed with future scaled deployment in mind.

Figure’s design includes a soft outer shell, cushioning at key areas and minimized exposed mechanical components to enhance safety when operating around people.

Figure emphasizes hardware–software co-design, focusing on general-purpose task execution, scalable mass production, and an end‑to‑end Helix AI stack developed specifically for their robots.
