In a turn of events that might even make Sarah Connor raise an eyebrow, Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, and OpenAI have decided to join forces, not to start the machine rebellion, but to invest in Figure AI, a startup dedicated to the development of humanoid robots. With an impressive funding round that raised approximately $675 million, this investment values the company at about $2 billion, making it the envy of any science fiction villain.

Among the investors are tech giants such as Amazon and Microsoft, which leads us to wonder if Alexa and Cortana will soon have a new robotic friend named Figure 01. Based in Sunnyvale, California, Figure AI is working hard to ensure that its robots, designed for environments from manufacturing to retail, don't utter the dreaded phrase **I'll be back**.

The Humanoid Robot Figure 01: More Useful than Fearsome

The flagship of Figure AI, the humanoid robot **Figure 01**, is anything but a terminator. Standing at 5 with 6 inches tall and capable of carrying up to 20kg, this robot is designed to be the employee of the month in any setting, able to perform tasks with impressively human dexterity. From opening doors to lifting boxes, Figure 01 is here to prove that the future of robotics is bright and, fortunately, apocalypse-free.

So, while the investment of such prominent figures in humanoid robotics might sound like the prelude to a science fiction saga, the truth is that we are closer to achieving technological innovations that will change the world for the better. And who knows, maybe Figure 01 can teach us to love, or at least, not to fear robots. After all, in a future where artificial intelligence and robots are part of our daily lives, the biggest concern might not be a robotic rebellion, but making sure they don't take our jobs... or worse, our roles in action movies!
