Figure Humanoid Robots Get Jobs With JCPenney, Aéropostale, Brooks Brothers

Figure struck a commercial deal with Catalyst Brands to deploy humanoid robots at a Nevada distribution center.

The robots will handle physically demanding supply-chain tasks for retailers tied to brands like JCPenney and Brooks Brothers.

The companies did not disclose shipment volume, timing, or whether the agreement is a sale, lease, or service contract.

The move signals humanoid robots advancing into retail logistics, while raising fresh questions about automation and job displacement.
