About Figure AI Figure 02
Figure 02 represents the second-generation platform from the heavily-funded California startup (over $850M raised). Standing approximately 168 cm tall, Figure 02 integrates OpenAI's vision-language models for natural language task understanding and real-time decision making. BMW announced deployment in manufacturing facilities for parts handling and assembly tasks. The robot features improved locomotion over Figure 01, with enhanced balance control and faster walking speeds. Figure emphasizes end-to-end neural network control trained on massive simulation data and human demonstrations.
