A physical form for AI-driven work

Figure's founder and company materials describe a business focused on general-purpose humanoid robots. Its public history distinguishes Figure 01, Figure 02 and Figure 03, connecting successive designs with changes in movement, manipulation and intended operating environments.

Adcock's biography identifies the 2022 founding and an early commercial relationship with BMW. These are concrete parts of the company's public history, separate from the broader ambition of making humanoid robots widely useful.

Hardware, control and an intended environment

The product combines a physical machine with software for interpreting information and controlling actions. Figure's Helix publications explain the AI component of that work. A demonstration or technical release is part of a continuing development process; useful deployment also depends on reliable operation, integration and the conditions of the task. Workplace and home settings introduce different requirements within the same long-term product ambition.
