The honest brief

Cobot

Bets on a practical wheeled design over costly bipedal humanoids, already piloting with Mayo Clinic, Maersk and Moderna.

  • Practical wheeled design vs pricey humanoids
  • Moves carts up to 1,500 lb
  • Real early customers across sectors
  • Founder led 500K+ robots at Amazon
  • Not a general-purpose humanoid
  • Enterprise deployments, not buyable off-the-shelf
  • Capital-intensive, early commercial stage

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
