Figure develops and manufactures general-purpose humanoid robots, including Figure 03, for industrial, logistics, and home applications.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
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.

Genesis AI markets Eno, a general-purpose robot, to enterprise customers for prospective deployments across operational settings.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Genesis AI is a private Paris–San Carlos full-stack robotics company developing the GENE robot foundation model, dexterous manipulation hardware and the Eno general-purpose robot. It raised a company-announced $105M seed in Jul-25, demonstrated GENE-26.5 manipulation tasks in May-26, unveiled Eno and announced a strategic deployment partnership with LG CNS on Jun-16-26, but no customer deployment or earned robotics revenue has been publicly verified as of Sep-15-26. Its distinguishing position is the combination of simulation, human-skill data capture, proprietary hands and a non-humanoid mobile robot; the open question is whether the announced end-2026 production and customer-deployment target will convert demonstrations into repeatable field operations.
