Figure, a robotics startup, has partnered with OpenAI to integrate advanced AI systems into humanoid robots[1] [2]. This collaboration aims to create robots capable of performing tasks that humans are unwilling or unable to do due to labor shortages[1]. The partnership has attracted significant investment, including $675 million from notable backers like Jeff Bezos, Microsoft, and Nvidia[1].
Figure’s humanoid robots, such as Figure 01, are designed to operate in human environments and perform various tasks[1]. The integration of OpenAI’s technology, including GPT language models and other AI tools, will enhance the robots’ ability to process and reason from language[1]. This development is expected to accelerate Figure’s commercial timeline and expand the potential applications of humanoid robots[1].
