Figure.ai
A Leader in Humanoid Robotics
Since 2022, Figure.AI have been one of the most ambitious and well-supported ventures in robotics history, quickly emerging as a leader in general-purpose humanoid robotics.
BlackBox Infinite has been supporting the amazing team at Figure with a very specific focus: designing the way we interact with the robot through strategy, design, and prototyping.
A New Frontier in Products, Experience, and Culture
BlackBox Infinite was founded precisely for initiatives like this: challenges without templates for success, strategy without ‘best practices’, and clients without peers. The design process requires careful coordination between competing factors ranging from safety, to customer needs, to aesthetics, to human acceptance.
And while careful not to get lost in sci-fi tropes, BlackBox leverages new technologies and paradigms to ensure that the robot’s HMI is as advanced as the rest of this AI-powered marvel.
The Ultimate AI Assistant
This work leverages BlackBox’s deep experience in designing for AI as a fundamental capability that defines what a product can do and how it behaves. Not just a stack of features or interactions, Figure’s AI abilities are shaped into clear, trustworthy human experiences.
Innovation at the Speed of Now
Figure’s pace of progress is one of their key attributes. In reflection of that, BlackBox has built strategic frameworks that ensure rapid practical insights and design solutions delivered not as bullet-points in a deck, but as prototypes that inform and inspire.
This kind of momentum breeds its own magic, and BlackBox is thankful for clients like Figure that are racing into the future.
