Figure 01 just got an OpenAI upgrade that enables the humanoid robot to have full conversations with humans, thanks to the ChatGPT maker’s large vision language model (VLM). The two companies aim to develop next generation AI models for humanoid robots by combining OpenAI’s research with Figure’s deep understanding of robotics hardware as well as software.
Where is Figure storing all this data? The company is leveraging Microsoft Azure for AI infrastructure, training, and storage. This means that Figure 01 has complete access to Microsoft’s AI infrastructure and services to support and assist people with real world applications.

We’ve always planned to come back to robotics and we see a path with Figure to explore what humanoid robots can achieve when powered by highly capable multimodal models. We’re blown away by Figure’s progress to date and we look forward to working together to open up new possibilities for how robots can help in everyday life,” said Peter Welinder, VP of Product and Partnerships at OpenAI.
