Figure AI
A US humanoid robotics company that has raised over $2 billion to develop general-purpose robots for industrial and eventually home use, running the first publicly documented production-scale humanoid deployment in automotive manufacturing at BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina plant. Figure's Figure 02 supported production of more than 30,000 BMW X3 vehicles over 10 months with over 99% placement accuracy per shift, and BMW signed a commercial contract for an initial fleet of 40 Figure 03 units expanding into logistics work at Spartanburg and, starting summer 2026, at BMW's Plant Leipzig in Germany.
