Figure AI has signed its second major commercial partner, potentially paving the way for shipping 100,000 humanoid robots in the next four years. While the client remains undisclosed, speculation points to a major U.S. retailer or tech giant with high labor demands.
The company’s strategy targets both commercial and home markets, focusing on large-scale deployments in logistics, manufacturing, and eventually household assistance. Its first customer, BMW, was announced last year, marking a strong push into industrial automation.
Figure’s rapid development is evident in its humanoid robots, with Figure 02 already achieving 2.68 mph speeds—seven times faster than its predecessor. CEO Brett Adcock highlights the importance of AI-driven learning, emphasizing that neural networks allow the robots to adapt dynamically to new tasks.

Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. "Like the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupol," he said, "Even before it hits the news, you see the videos on the Telegram channels." Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai.
