Figure AI's former safety engineer says its home robot can fracture a skull
Figure AI's former product-safety engineer Robert Gruendel has filed a federal whistleblower and wrongful-termination suit alleging the company's F.02 humanoid robot produces impact forces more than 20 times the ISO 15066 human pain threshold and has gouged steel, while the firm simultaneously pushed toward home deployment. Gruendel says his safety roadmap was gutted the same month Figure closed its $39 billion-valuation Series C, and Figure disputes the allegations and has counterclaimed. The case, now in discovery, is among the first to test humanoid robot safety claims in court and highlights the absence of any consumer-safety certification regime for home humanoids.
Nvidia considers investing additional $1 billion in Figure AI
Nvidia is reportedly considering making an additional $1 billion investment in humanoid robotics startup Figure AI, though discussions remain unconfirmed and no deal terms have been disclosed. Nvidia previously joined Figure AI's Series C round in September 2025, which raised over $1 billion at a $39 billion post-money valuation, and the chipmaker also supplies technology for Figure's Helix AI models and robot deployments.

Nvidia has discussed investing an additional $1 billion in humanoid robotics startup Figure AI, though the talks are unconfirmed and no deal terms have surfaced. The chipmaker previously joined Figure's September 2025 Series C, which raised over $1 billion at a $39 billion post-money valuation, and Nvidia already supplies the GPUs behind Figure's Helix AI models. Separately, Figure announced a strategic compute partnership with UK-based Nscale worth an initial $3.5 billion (expandable beyond $6 billion) to deploy up to 100,000 Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs starting in H2 2027.
