Unlike LLMs, we can’t scrape the internet for robot data

Announcing Project Go-Big: we’re building the world's largest humanoid pretraining dataset

This is accelerated by our partnership with Brookfield, who owns over 100,000 residential units
Helix is now learning directly from human video data

We have already trained on data collected in the real world, including Brookfield residential units

To our knowledge, this is the first instance of a humanoid robot learning navigation end-to-end using only human video
Every machine learning breakthrough has come from massive, diverse datasets. There is nothing like this for robotics so we are building our own

A single Helix neural network now outputs both manipulation and navigation, end-to-end from language and pixel input Image
We posted a write-up on the website about our plans to build an internet-scale pretraining data set and the results we have seen so far

Today we're introducing our next generation humanoid battery for F.03

Like our actuators, vertically integrating our battery system is critical to Figure’s success

Engineered in-house and manufactured at BotQ
Advancements across 3 generations of battery technology has resulted in:

→ 78% cheaper
→ Higher safety and reliability
→ 2kW fast charge with active cooling
→ Significant energy density improvements Image
Structural Battery

Our structural battery pack features a high-strength enclosure made of:

→ stamped steel
→ die-cast aluminum
→ structural adhesives

This enables it to withstand a 1-meter drop onto concrete from any angle

Introducing learned natural walking

Figure can now walk naturally like a human

Years of data was trained in simulation in just a few hours
We are excited to introduce our end-to-end neural network, trained with reinforcement learning (RL), for humanoid locomotion

Below we will dive into engineering our robots to walk like humans, the training process in simulation, and how we zero-shot to the real robot
Trained in Simulation

Our robot learns to walk naturally similar to a human via a high fidelity physics simulator

We simulate years of data in only a few hours

Meet Helix, our in-house AI that reasons like a human

Robotics won't get to the home without a step change in capabilities

Our robots can now handle virtually any household item:
Figure has built Helix entirely in-house and end-to-end

Our robots equipped with Helix can now pick up virtually any household object without any code or prior training

Helix uses a single set of neural network weights to learn all behaviors
Today, we're launching our first technical report!

The report details Helix, a generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model

Announcing: Figure raises $675M at $2.6B valuation

In addition, OpenAI & Figure signed a collaboration agreement to develop next generation AI models

More details below: Image
@OpenAI @Microsoft @nvidia @intelcapital Investments from:

- Microsoft
- OpenAI Startup Fund
- NVIDIA
- Jeff Bezos (through Bezos Expeditions)
- Parkway Venture Capital
- Intel Capital
- Align Ventures
We also signed a collaboration agreement with OpenAI to develop next generation AI models for humanoid robots

The collaboration aims to help accelerate Figure’s commercial timeline by enhancing the capabilities of humanoid robots to process and reason from language
