Figure AI Deploys Humanoid Robots at Catalyst's $40 Million Reno Warehouse

Summary
Catalyst Brands' Reno distribution center is the first site where Figure AI humanoid robots will assist with repetitive sorting and packing work under a new commercial agreement.
The robots are being integrated into Catalyst's Joey Pouch sorting system for physically demanding warehouse tasks, not store-floor retail jobs across brands such as JCPenney and Brooks Brothers.
Figure and Catalyst did not disclose robot numbers, a start date, pricing structure or how many human roles could be affected, leaving the scale of the rollout unclear.
Brookfield backs Figure AI and also holds a stake in Catalyst, making the Reno deployment Figure's first commercial link with a Brookfield portfolio company.
If the Reno test expands beyond one facility, it could become a broader model for retailers using humanoid robots to automate warehouse labor.
