The honest brief
FieldAI
One foundation-model 'brain' spans many robot bodies, where most rivals train per-robot or per-task policies.
- Embodiment-agnostic: one brain, many robots
- Risk-aware 'Belief World Model'
- Works without maps, GPS, or set routes
- Backed by Bezos, Gates, and Nvidia
- Enterprise-only, no public pricing
- Aimed at robot makers, not end users
- Early in commercial deployment
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
When to pick which
Both cover Robot foundation model.
