Agility Robotics, creator of the bipedal robot Digit, announced that the company is opening RoboFab, a robot manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon with the capability to produce more than 10,000 robots per year.

Figure, an AI Robotics company building general purpose humanoid robots, has announced a $9 million equity investment made by Intel Capital. This funding from Intel Capital helps strengthen Figure’s balance sheet and will accelerate the development of Figure 01 (the company’s autonomous humanoid robot), build out.

The global humanoid robot market is anticipated to grow significantly in the next decade, according to a recent report by Research Dive. The expected growth rate of 7.7% will take the market from its current value to a projected total of $609.5 million by 2031. The increase is attributed to the growing demand for advanced humanoid robots in manufacturing and personal assistance roles worldwide.

Figure, an AI robotics company specializing in the development of general-purpose humanoid robots, has raised $70 million in a Series A funding round. This substantial funding will be utilized to accelerate the advancement of Figure 01, the company’s autonomous humanoid robot, establish Figure’s AI data pipeline for autonomous operations, and drive forward with commercialization efforts.

Humans naturally perform numerous complex tasks. These include sitting down, picking something up from a table, and pushing a cart. These activities involve various movements and require multiple contacts, which makes it difficult to program robots to perform them.

Halodi Robotics is demonstrating Ansys simulation software through the Ansys Startup Program to develop its humanoid robots designed to work among humans in everyday environments. Humanoid robots can help alleviate the growing labor shortage, and free critical personnel to focus on tasks that require their high-level skills.

Halodi Robotics has signed an agreement to provide 140 humanoid robots to ADT Commercial, a  U.S.-based provider of commercial security, fire, life safety and risk consulting services. This announcement is the result of the strategic partnership announced in April 2021 where Halodi Robotics secured an investment from ADT Commercial to develop a robot to complement their physical security solutions.
