Robotics startup Figure has raised over $1 billion in its latest fundraising round, bringing its valuation to $39 billion. The financing will help the company scale production of its home robots and AI-driven automation systems for both consumer and commercial use. Figure plans to deepen its R&D in mobility, manipulation, and AI perception modules. Investors see this as the strongest signal yet that robotics and AI hardware startups commanding high valuations remain in favor, particularly in sectors where software and hardware integration defines product differentiation.
