Figure AI: deployment KPI without S5 economics yet

Figure has stronger public customer-site and manufacturing KPI evidence than demo-only humanoid stories, but it still lacks the economic data that would prove scalable robot deployment.

BMW deployment result

Figure reported 11-month BMW Spartanburg work, 90,000+ parts loaded and 1,250+ runtime hours.

Helix 02 autonomy push

Figure positioned Helix 02 as a full-body autonomy system; field autonomy still needs intervention-rate proof.

BotQ / Figure 03 ramp

Figure disclosed 350+ Figure 03 delivered, cadence from 1/day to 1/hour and >80% EOL first-pass yield.

A second named customer surface beyond BMW; public economics and deployment KPI remain undisclosed.

Capital and route-pressure context

The Figure AI PDF extract helps explain why Figure faces unusually high manufacturing-execution pressure. These figures remain secondary until traced to original financing and company sources.

B round$675M / $2.6B

PDF extract says Figure's 2024 B round raised $675M at a $2.6B valuation with Microsoft, NVIDIA, OpenAI and other strategic investors.

C round claim$1B+ / $39B

Extract frames the later C round as $1B+ committed capital and $39B post-money; keep as secondary until source-traced.

Figure 03 spec168cm / 60–61kg

Extracted comparison table frames Figure 03 at 168cm, 60-61kg, 20kg load and 20 DoF hand.

Route riskVLA-first

Jerry Pratt departure and Helix/VLA emphasis are useful route-risk signals, not standalone commercialization proof.
