Humanoid robots powered by Helix, an in-house vision-language-action model.

Figure AI builds general-purpose humanoid robots (Figure 01–03) driven by Helix, its proprietary vision-language-action model that fuses perception, language, and learned control. Figure 03, announced in 2025, targets the home and broader applications; earlier models were piloted in BMW's automotive manufacturing.

Apollo, a general-purpose humanoid robot for logistics and manufacturing.

Austin-based Apptronik builds Apollo, a 5'8", 160 lb general-purpose humanoid robot with a 55 lb payload and swappable four-hour battery packs, designed to work in spaces built for humans. Apollo is being piloted in factories and warehouses with Mercedes-Benz and GXO Logistics under a robot-as-a-service model, and a strategic partnership with Google DeepMind pairs the hardware with Gemini Robotics models.

NEO, a home humanoid robot driven by the onboard Redwood vision-language-action model.

1X (1X Technologies) builds NEO, a household humanoid robot powered by Redwood, a 160M-parameter vision-language-action model that jointly controls locomotion and manipulation for tasks like laundry and answering the door. Redwood runs on NEO's onboard GPU and pairs with an off-board language model for voice control. NEO ships from 2026 at $20,000 or $499/month.

Phoenix, a general-purpose humanoid robot driven by the Carbon AI control system.

Sanctuary AI builds Phoenix, a general-purpose humanoid robot for work, powered by Carbon, a hybrid cognitive control system that blends symbolic reasoning, large language models, and reinforcement learning to mimic human cognitive subsystems. Phoenix features highly dexterous hands and can be taught new tasks in under 24 hours.
