The honest brief

Apptronik

Targets industrial deployment now — real Mercedes-Benz and GXO pilots and a DeepMind model partnership, while many humanoid rivals are still demo-stage.

  • In real factory and warehouse pilots
  • Swappable 4-hour battery packs
  • 55 lb payload in human spaces
  • Google DeepMind / Gemini Robotics partner
  • Not yet at commercial scale
  • Enterprise RaaS only — no consumer product
  • Unproven outside pilot programs

Figure AI

Exited its OpenAI deal to own the full stack — Helix runs onboard, so hardware and AI are built end-to-end in-house.

  • Proprietary Helix VLA model
  • Full-stack hardware + AI
  • Real pilots (BMW manufacturing)
  • Figure 03 targets the home
  • Not a buyable product yet
  • Capital-intensive, long timelines
  • General-purpose autonomy unproven at scale
