Its industrial humanoid [Figure 02](/models/figure-02) ran a flagship production deployment at [BMW](/companies/bmw)'s Spartanburg plant (since ended); the next-generation [Figure 03](/models/figure-03) (with notably dexterous hands, 16 DoF per hand) is its current platform, increasingly oriented toward both industrial RaaS and eventual home use. Figure develops its own [Helix](/brains/helix) vision-language-action AI and operates BotQ, a manufacturing facility tooled to produce up to ~12,000 Figure robots per year.\n\nFinancials: Figure raised over $1 billion in a Series C (September 2025) at a $39 billion valuation, a roughly 15x jump from its $2.6 billion valuation in February 2024, bringing total funding raised to roughly $1.7 billion. Investors include NVIDIA and Qualcomm Ventures.\n\nReality check: Figure's elevated valuation is partly home-market optionality; CEO [Brett Adcock](/people/brett-adcock) has acknowledged home autonomy is not yet ready for unsupervised operation, so near-term revenue is industrial robots-as-a-service. The BMW deployment, though small in unit count, represents genuine factory integration rather than lab demos. BotQ's 12,000/yr is production capacity, not current output.","status":"private","founded":2022,"hq":"Sunnyvale, California, USA","hqLat":37.3688301,"hqLng":-122.036349,"hqGeocodedAt":"2026-08-05T14:29:17.692Z","hqAddress":null,"hqPrecision":null,"website":"figure.ai","fundingTotal":"1745000000","type":"both","roles":["robot_maker","robot_operator"],"reviewStatus":"reviewed","heatIndex":94,"lifecycleState":"active","supersededByCompanyId":null,"sources":[{"url":"https://www.figure.ai/","title":"Figure — company website","sourceName":"Figure AI","publishedAt":"2026-01-01"},{"url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_AI","title":"Figure AI — Wikipedia","sourceName":"Wikipedia","publishedAt":"2026-01-01"},{"url":"https://techfundingnews.com/figure-ai-raises-over-1b-at-a-39b-valuation-advancing-humanoid-robotics-for-real-world-labour/","title":"Figure AI raised $1B+ at $39B valuation (Series C)","sourceName":"Tech Funding News","publishedAt":"2025-09-17"},{"url":"https://www.figure.ai/news/series-c","title":"Figure Exceeds $1B in Series C Funding at $39B Post-Money Valuation (Sept 16, 2025) - led by Parkway VC; incl.
