Figure, a humanoid robotics startup, has secured a significant commercial agreement with Catalyst Brands to deploy its autonomous machines at scale. The initial rollout will take place at Catalyst’s Distribution Logistics Center in Reno, Nevada, where the humanoids will automate sorting and packing tasks within the supply chain.
This partnership is crucial as it highlights the need for flexible automation solutions in Catalyst's diverse operations, which include over 1,800 retail locations. Figure's humanoids will specifically assist with the Joey Pouch sorting system, part of a $40 million infrastructure upgrade completed in 2024, enhancing operational efficiency.
Looking ahead, the collaboration signifies a vital step in real-world commercial validation for Figure. The integration of humanoids into Brookfield-backed Catalyst Brands showcases the potential for advanced robotics to modernize retail operations and improve workforce productivity. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
