Figure's Humanoid Robots Now Make Beds Better Than You Do
May 8, 2026 Figure’s latest demo shows two Figure 03 humanoids making a bed with terrifying precision. Operating autonomously on the company’s Helix 2 neural network, the pair synchronizes movements better than most couples assembling IKEA furniture. Your list of household chores just got a little shorter, and a lot more obsolete.

Top 99 Startups developing AI for Robotics
These startups create AI-powered humanoid and non-humanoid robots that can autonomously implement intelligent tasks.1Country: Norway | Funding: $136.5M1X is developing Neo - intelligent humanoid robot for home use that automates household chores and brings useful insight into every conversation. The company has created a proprietary artificial intelligence model that understands real-world dynamics and can help robots learn new information autonomously. It uses a combination of video and cues to imbue Neo robots with new abilities. The robot takes video data associated with specific cues and feeds it back into a model of the surrounding world. This model is then fed to a network of robots to give them a better understanding of the physical world and greater knowledge. This behavioral information can help 1X train these models to the point where robots can respond to cues they never did before.2Country: USA | Funding: $12.8MAntioch intends to be the Cursor for physical AI - it's building simulation tools for robot developers. Its platform allows robot builders to spin up multiple digital instances of their hardware and connect them to simulated sensors that mimic the same data the robot’s software would receive in the real world. These environments allow developers to test edge cases, perform reinforcement learning, or generate new training data. The company starts with models built by Nvidia, World Labs, and others, and builds domain-specific libraries to make them easy to use.3Country: Israel | Funding: $17MMentee Robotics develops humanoid robots. Its V3 robot stands 175 cm tall, weighs 70 kg and can lift up to 25 kg. The robot's intelligence includes a system of movement, manipulation and decision-making designed for real-world use, not controlled laboratory conditions. The company envisions applications for warehouse robots - autonomously picking boxes from piles of varying heights and placing them across multiple racks. The startup was acquired by Mobileye but continues to operate as an independent division.4Country: USA | Funding: $615MMind Robotics is an industrial robotics lab spun out of the electric vehicle maker Rivian and it wants to use data from Rivian’s electric vehicle factory to train industrial robots to be more dexterous and adaptable and perform physical reasoning that classical robotics cannot address. The company is building the full robotics foundation - AI models, hardware and deployment infrastructure5Country: USA | Funding: $200MS...
Figure CEO Says Humanoid Robots Could Soon Enter Homes
Figure's CEO told Sourcery's Molly O'Shea that the humanoid robotics company is preparing for a "near-term" push to bring humanoid robots into homes, where they would perform basic household tasks under a consumer subscription model that could cost "hundreds per month," similar to a car lease.
