Figure AI alternatives

Figure AI is among the youngest in this category: founded in 2022 and based in San Jose, California, it builds general-purpose humanoid robots, has raised US$1.75B in total (including a US$1B Series C in September 2025), with commercial deployments in manufacturing and logistics, an automotive plant pilot in the United States, and a home market launch for Figure 03. A buyer weighing that early-stage profile against nearer-term or non-humanoid options has four directions to look. Geekplus, founded in Beijing in 2015 and listed in Hong Kong in 2025, skips the humanoid form and supplies mobile warehouse robots (AMR, AGV and AS/RS) already deployed in more than 40 countries with over 1,000 employees. 1X Technologies stays with humanoids but aims first at the home: based in San Carlos, founded in 2014 as Halodi Robotics, it runs NEO early-access home deployments in the United States alongside EVE industrial deployments. ABB Robotics is the long-horizon incumbent — a robotics business dating to 1974, roughly 7,000 employees and a service network in more than 50 countries, now being divested by ABB Group to SoftBank. AGIBOT, founded in Shanghai in February 2023, matches Figure on general-purpose humanoid ambition from a China base, with around 660 employees and a US market debut at CES in January 2026. Choose Geekplus if the job is warehouse throughput today; 1X if the setting is the home; ABB if global service coverage matters most; AGIBOT if you want a second young humanoid developer outside the United States.
