Figure, a California-based company developing autonomous humanoid robots, announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with Brookfield. Brookfield will help Figure develop the world’s largest and most diverse real-world humanoid pretraining dataset and build critical AI infrastructure for scaling Helix, Figure’s proprietary vision-language-action model, and facilitate deployment of humanoid robots in new commercial settings. Brookfield has also invested in Figure’s Series C fundraising as part of the broader partnership.
“This partnership marks a major milestone in our journey to build general-purpose humanoid robots,” said Brett Adcock, founder and CEO of Figure. “Brookfield’s scale gives us an unmatched platform to capture massive amounts of real-world, humanlike navigation and manipulation data across a variety of household environments necessary to unlock general-purpose humanoid robots.”
“This approach to collaboration furthers Brookfield’s position at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence to drive productivity in real assets and business,” said Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield.
The project represents a significant advancement in the development of humanoid intelligence. Brookfield owns over 100,000 residential units globally as well as 500 million square feet of commercial office space and 160 million square feet of logistics space. In partnership with Brookfield, these types of environments are strategic and critical to Figure’s data collection project for Helix. Using human video capture in a variety of Brookfield environments of , Figure will amass critical AI training data for Helix to teach humanoid robots how to move, perceive and act across a spectrum of human-centric spaces. Figure has already launched data collection efforts in Brookfield environments and will continue to scale this program in the coming months.
In addition to data collection, the partnership will explore broader infrastructure collaboration — including support for next-generation GPU data centers, real estate for robotic training environments, and commercial use cases across Brookfield’s global footprint.
Brookfield and Figure will also explore opportunities to deploy humanoid robots within Brookfield’s portfolio over time. Figure has initiated early commercial deployments with select customers, and the addition of use cases within Brookfield’s platform will demonstrate the ability to scale utilization across different sectors and applications.
