11:09 AM EDT, 09/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Figure, a California-based company developing autonomous humanoid robots, announced Wednesday what it terms a "first-of-its-kind partnership" with Brookfield (BAM.TO, BAM), one of the world's largest alternative asset managers, to develop the "world's largest and most diverse real-world humanoid pretraining dataset".

It will also build critical AI infrastructure for scaling Helix, Figure's proprietary vision-language-action model, and facilitate deployment of humanoid robots in new commercial settings.

A statement noted that 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," Figure's founder and chief executive officer Brett Adcock said.

"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."
