Figure is a robotics startup creating autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The robots are equipped with advanced sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, and depth sensors, enabling them to perceive and navigate their surroundings with precision. Additionally, sophisticated algorithms allow the robots to interpret complex commands, learn from interactions, and adapt to new environments autonomously.

The new round saw participation from technology investing giants, including Microsoft Corp., Open AI Startup Fund, Nvidia Corp., Jeff Bezos (through Bezos Expeditions), Parkway Venture Capital, Intel Capital, Align Ventures, and ARK Invest.
