Critical Dependencies
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.

Market Intelligence
UnverifiedCredibly-reported claims — analyst notes, sourcing citing “people familiar with the matter,” deals where the companies involved declined to comment — that haven't been officially confirmed. Kept structurally separate from the sourced evidence above; treat as a lead worth researching further, not an established fact.
Reportedly in talks for new funding at a $39.5 billion valuation
42% confidenceFigure AI was reportedly in discussions for a new funding round at roughly a $39.5 billion valuation, up from the $39 billion post-money mark set in its September 2025 Series C, according to a source cited by Reuters. No primary round above the confirmed Series C level has been officially announced by the company.
Reported by Reuters citing a source familiar with the discussions; terms and timing were described as fluid and Figure has not confirmed a new priced round.
Figure AI's Timeline
A sourced, dated history of Figure AI's key moments — founding to present.
Jan 2026 · BMW Spartanburg production deployment
Figure's Figure 02 robot completed an 11-month pilot at BMW's Spartanburg plant, supporting production of over 30,000 BMW X3 vehicles, the first publicly documented production-scale humanoid robot deployment in automotive manufacturing.
Jul 2026 · Scales Figure 03 production to 1 robot/hour; reaches $39B valuation
Figure AI scaled production of its Figure 03 humanoid to approximately one robot per hour at its BotQ factory, with Figure and Agility Robotics holding the strongest verified real-world deployment records in the sector; the company's valuation reached roughly $39 billion following a Series C round of more than $1 billion in late 2025, nearly 15 times its prior-year valuation.
Jul 2026 · Manufactures 1,000th Figure 03 robot; retires F.02 after BMW deployment
Figure AI manufactured its 1,000th Figure 03 humanoid at its BotQ facility, maintaining a roughly one-robot-per-hour production rate. In May 2026 Figure livestreamed a group of robots sorting and placing packages nonstop for nearly a week (over 204,000 packages across 163+ hours), with the robots performing 98.5% as well as a human in a 10-hour head-to-head competition; the company also formally retired its F.02 model after its year-long BMW Spartanburg deployment, which had contributed to production of over 30,000 X3 vehicles and loaded more than 90,000 sheet-metal parts.
