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.
Figure AI's Helix 2.5 Robot Made Beds in 30 Homes It Had Never Seen
Figure AI's Helix 2.5 robot achieved a 56% success rate performing household chores across 30 Bay Area homes it had never seen, a six-fold improvement over a model trained from scratch (9%). The robot used zero-shot generalization through the company's Index pretraining dataset, requiring 50% less task-specific data than its predecessor to achieve these results.
Nscale Backs Figure AI With $3.5 Billion, Takes Equity Stake in Humanoid Push
AI cloud provider Nscale announced a $3.5 billion GPU infrastructure commitment to humanoid robotics company Figure AI, taking an undisclosed equity stake in what marks the largest dedicated compute commitment to a humanoid robotics company. The deal, involving 100,000 NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs deployed at Nscale's Texas facility beginning late 2027, also includes Nscale becoming Figure's preferred compute provider as the two companies explore deeper integration, including potentially using Figure robots in Nscale's supply chain.
