We create humanoid ecosystem startups and provide them capital
What Are Humanoids?
Humanoid robots represent the physical embodiment of artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional machines hardcoded for a single task, humanoids are built to perceive, reason, and adapt in real time. This makes them fundamentally different—capable of engaging with the world around them in dynamic, context-aware ways that mirror human interaction and responsiveness. Figure has the world’s most advanced, elegant, and mature humanoid on the market.
Why Are Humanoids Possible Now?
Humanoids are now possible thanks to breakthroughs in both brain and body. On the brain side, advanced AI models can now process sensory inputs and make real-time decisions, enabling intelligent interaction with the world.
On the body side, modular and cost-effective mechanical designs—combined with advancements in actuators, sensors, and batteries—have made it feasible to build capable, affordable humanoid forms.
Why will humanoids be so transformative?
Low Price Point: Humanoids will cost between $10,000 and $30,000. The fully loaded cost of putting a humanoid to work will be between $5 and $10 per hour.
Huge Volumes: All serious humanoid startups are planning to produce millions of units per year. It is estimated that there will be about as many humanoids as cars.
Interoperability: The world is built for humans. Humanoids can operate within existing environments without costly reconfiguration, unlocking immediate value in factories, hospitals, and homes.
“The easiest robots to adapt into the world are humanoid robots because we built the world for us.”

How Vast is the Humanoid Market?
There will be 3 billion humanoids on earth by 2060
The global humanoid OEM market for humanoid robots could yield $38 billion per year by 2035
The global humanoid OEM market for humanoid robots could yield between $38 billion and $200 billion per year by 2035
There will be 5 billion humanoid robots on earth in the coming years
Why are Humanoids Critical to France?
Global trade and military alliances have changed, and France can no longer rely on external powers for access to strategic technologies. Humanoid robots—like satellites, fighter jets, and AI models—will become vital to national defense, logistics, and infrastructure resilience. They also enable a new wave of reindustrialization, allowing us to bring entire industries back onshore by neutralizing the cost advantage of low-wage labor abroad. Most critically, sovereign control over humanoid supply chains reduces geopolitical risk and ensures continuity during future disruptions.
