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.

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.

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.

Maker of Digit, the humanoid robot already doing paid work in warehouses.

Agility Robotics builds Digit, a bipedal humanoid for warehouse and factory material handling, orchestrated by its Arc cloud platform. Digit works production shifts at GXO — 100,000+ totes moved at a single site — with commercial agreements at Schaeffler, Mercado Libre, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. Robots are assembled at the company's RoboFab factory in Salem, Oregon.
