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.","assessed_in":{"domain":"Humanoids","list":"Humanoids 100","rank":5,"score":88,"tier":"member","scores":{"leverage":6,"position":8,"progress":9,"firepower":10,"commercial":6,"deployment":10,"production":8,"technology":10},"why":"Figure develops and manufactures general-purpose humanoid robots, including Figure 03, for industrial, logistics, and home applications.","segment":"General-purpose","layer":"Systems"},"signals_total":475,"facts_total":457},{"name":"LimX Dynamics","url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/limx-dynamics","city":"Shenzhen","country":"China","stage":null,"founded":null,"last_round":null,"positioning":"LimX Dynamics (Shenzhen, founded 2022) makes general-purpose humanoids on its TRON 2 modular platform plus the full-size interactive Luna (launched May 2026) and the Oli, running its COSA embodied OS, with Luna deliveries beginning within a month of launch.
