Viewers can see how the investments from Nvidia, Microsoft, and Jeff Bezos are being utilized.
Figure has created a humanoid robot to perform dangerous tasks.
As a startup specializing in humanoid robot development, Figure has secured a massive investment of $675 million from prominent investors such as Jeff Bezos, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI. According to Bloomberg, the company’s valuation is around $2 billion.
Figure aims to create robots that can perform hazardous jobs, addressing labor shortages, with the Figure 01 robot as a representative prototype. The significant investments from leading companies reflect their confidence in the future of humanoid robots and AI technology, which promises to revolutionize work and how humans interact with machines.
In a recently uploaded video on platform X, we can see how this enormous investment is being utilized.

According to Figure, all capabilities of the Figure 01 showcased in the video are supported by a neural network (a system that simulates how the human brain processes information). Specifically, OpenAI provides intelligent natural language processing and image recognition models, while Figure’s neural network enables the robot to perform delicate hand movements.
