What is Figure AI?
Figure AI develops humanoid robots and Helix vision-language-action models for factories, logistics, and eventually home tasks.
Figure AI develops humanoid robots and Helix vision-language-action models for factories, logistics, and eventually home tasks. As of June 2026, it sits in Humanoid robotics with headquarters in San Jose, CA.
Public signals include BMW factory pilots, Helix demos, BotQ manufacturing plans, and a 2025 Series C of more than $1B at a $39B valuation. Its public traction is strongest where customers need high-reliability systems, safety, and mission or operational outcomes rather than experiments.
For sellers, Figure AI should be treated as a technical account with multiple buying centers. Product, engineering, security, operations, finance, and customer-program teams can all matter depending on the workflow.

Growth depends on robot bill of materials, reliability, utilization hours, model capability, and whether humanoids produce measurable ROI in specific workflows.
The practical revenue drivers are deployment scale, customer proof, reliability, and attach of software, support, integration, or sustainment. Public pricing is limited or quote-based, so deal sizing should be anchored in programs, fleet size, usage, or enterprise scope rather than a published tier page.
