Figure.ai develops humanoid robots designed for various tasks across multiple industries. Their main product, Figure 01, is a 5'6" tall, 60kg robot that can carry up to 20kg, run for 5 hours, and move at a speed of 1.2 meters per second. It is electric-powered and built to work in human-designed environments like manufacturing plants and warehouses.
