Positioning

Figure is a US humanoid maker that delivered 350+ Figure 03 units from its BotQ line by April 2026 (throughput of one robot an hour, a stated path to 100,000 a year) and ran Figure 02 at BMW Spartanburg for ~11 months (90,000+ parts at >99% placement accuracy, described as the first independently verifiable large-scale automotive humanoid deployment). It raised $1B+ Series C in September 2025 at a $39B post-money (a 15x step-up in 19 months; NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel, LG among participants), launched Figure 03 in October 2025, and exited its OpenAI collaboration for in-house Helix models. The negative signal: BMW chose Hexagon Robotics' wheeled AEON for its first European humanoid pilot at Leipzig (February 2026), so Figure went from BMW's singular humanoid partner to one supplier among several, and secondary shares traded below the $39B round price by August 2026. It is effectively pre-revenue at scale against that valuation.
