"Brookfield Teams Up with Figure to Expand AI Infrastructure and Construct the Globally Largest Training Database for Humanoid AI Models"
In an exciting development for the future of artificial intelligence and robotics, Figure, a California-based company, has partnered with Brookfield, one of the world's largest alternative asset managers. This collaboration aims to create the world's largest and most diverse real-world humanoid pretraining dataset.
The partnership is focused on solving the ambitious challenge of enabling robots to perform a wide range of real-world tasks in human environments. Figure's robots, engineered to perform various tasks in the home and commercial markets, will be utilised in Brookfield's environments for critical AI training data collection. This data will be used to teach humanoid robots how to move, perceive, and act across a spectrum of human-centric spaces, as per Figure's proprietary vision-language-action model, Helix.
Brookfield, a leading global investment firm with over $1 trillion in assets under management, is publicly traded in New York and Toronto (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM). The company manages over $1 trillion in assets and 100,000 residential units. This vast real estate portfolio provides strategic and critical environments for Figure's data collection project for Helix.
The collaboration between Figure and Brookfield aims to demonstrate the ability to scale utilization across different sectors and applications. Beyond 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.
Figure has initiated early commercial deployments with select customers and is headquartered in San Jose, CA. The goal of Figure is to ship humanoid robots with human level intelligence. The partnership will facilitate deployment of humanoid robots in new commercial settings, marking a historic advancement in the development of humanoid intelligence.
As part of the broader partnership, Brookfield has invested in Figure's Series C fundraising. The collaboration represents a significant step forward in the development of AI and robotics, with potential implications for various industries and daily life. The partnership between Figure and Brookfield is set to revolutionise the way we interact with robots in our everyday environments.
