Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, OpenAI and Microsoft team up to develop human-like robots. Figure AI is raising about $675 million in a financing round that carries a pre-valuation of about $2 billion.
In Figure, engineers work on a robot that looks and moves like a human. The company has stated that it hopes its machine, called Figure 01, can perform dangerous jobs that are not suitable for people. People with knowledge of the matter expect investors to transfer funds to Figure AI on Monday.
