Figure AI is founded and emerges from stealth
Figure AI was founded in May 2022 by Brett Adcock, who personally bootstrapped the company with $100 million. Operating largely in stealth, the team built its first prototype, Figure 01, with a full-scale design complete by late 2022. In March 2023, Figure emerged publicly, positioning Figure 01 as "the world's first commercially viable general purpose humanoid robot."

BMW pilots Figure while the OpenAI partnership ends
In January 2024, BMW announced testing of Figure 01 at an automotive plant. By August 2024, an updated Figure 02 was on the factory floor. The company also partnered with OpenAI to build specialized AI models for its robots, though Figure ended this collaboration in 2025 as LLMs became more commoditized.
