Figure AI
Figure AI is a company developing general-purpose humanoid robots, utilizing its Helix AI and Index platform to learn from human behavior data. It is currently cited as a major player in the general-purpose robot sector alongside Tesla, aiming to create machines capable of handling a wide variety of tasks.
In September 2026, Figure AI reported a 56.4% success rate for its Figure 03 robot in zero-shot home task evaluations and joined NVIDIA's Open Agent Safety Platform. The company also announced a strategic partnership with Nscale to build large-scale computing infrastructure, although reports indicate this project faces financing and construction hurdles. In the same month, Figure AI announced the decommissioning of its F.02 robot fleet, planning to collaborate with Arnold Schwarzenegger to melt down the units to protect proprietary hardware and save engineering time.
