Robot Brief

Figure 03 is the third-generation bipedal humanoid robot developed by Figure AI, introduced in October 2025 as the company's first platform designed explicitly for the consumer home market and mass production at scale. Built around a complete ground-up hardware and software redesign, Figure 03 stands 1,676 mm tall and weighs 60 kg, incorporating soft-goods textile coverings, multi-density foam padding, pinch-point protection, and wireless inductive foot charging specifically to address the safety, usability, and aesthetic requirements of domestic environments. It is powered exclusively by Figure AI's proprietary Helix 02 VLA model, a fully in-house VLA AI model that controls perception, reasoning, and physical action onboard in real time and features a redesigned sensor suite with double the camera frame rate, one-quarter the latency, a 60% wider field of view, embedded palm cameras, and custom first-generation tactile fingertip sensors capable of detecting forces as small as 3 grams. Named one of TIME magazine's Best Inventions of 2025, Figure 03 is manufactured at the BotQ facility in San Jose, California, with a stated capacity of 12,000 units per year and a target consumer price of approximately USD 20,000.

Use Cases

Autonomous Household Task Execution:
Performs domestic chores including folding laundry, loading and unloading a dishwasher, watering plants, tidying rooms, and delivering items, learned from human observation and continuous fleet-wide Helix 02 model improvement.
Precision Dexterous Manipulation with Tactile Feedback:
Handles fragile, irregularly shaped, and previously unseen objects using custom tactile fingertip sensors (3g minimum detectable force), embedded palm cameras, and Helix 02-driven slip-prediction to maintain stable, adaptive grasps on delicate items.Wireless
Autonomous Self-Charging:
Steps onto a dedicated charging stand to initiate 2 kW wireless inductive charging autonomously, allowing the robot to manage its own power throughout the day without human intervention.
High-Speed Fleet Data Collection via mmWave:
Uploads terabytes of operational sensor and action data per robot to Figure AI's central training systems via a 10 Gbps mmWave wireless connection, enabling continuous improvement of the Helix 02 model across the entire deployed fleet.
Voice-Driven Task Understanding and Reasoning:
Enhanced audio system with a repositioned microphone and a speaker four times more powerful than Figure 02 supports high-clarity speech-to-speech conversational interaction and verbal task reasoning in domestic acoustic conditions.
Commercial Facility Data Pre-Training:
In partnership with Brookfield Asset Management, Figure 03 is deployed in commercial properties including offices, kitchens, and logistics spaces to generate diverse egocentric video and interaction data before broad consumer availability.

Industries

Home Assistance:
The primary intended deployment environment. Figure 03 is engineered specifically for domestic use with soft materials, wireless charging, and tactile safety features, targeting everyday household task automation for residential consumers.
Manufacturing and Logistics:
Retains the physical capabilities for industrial applications including assembly assistance, part handling, and logistics support, validated through prior Figure 02 deployments and applicable to Figure 03's improved hardware.
Retail:
Applicable for inventory management, shelf organisation, and customer assistance in commercial retail environments due to its human-scale form factor and general manipulation capability.
Light Manufacturing and Assembly:
Building on the successful pilot programs conducted with the Figure 02 model in controlled factory settings, such as at BMW, Figure 03 retains the structural capability for industrial applications. It can be utilized for repetitive tasks like machine loading, assembly, inspection, and moving parts.

Intro

Figure 03 stands 1,676 mm tall and weighs 60 kg, representing a 9% mass reduction compared to Figure 02. Its exterior is covered in soft washable textile goods and strategically placed multi-density foam, with all joint surfaces designed to be pinch-proof, specifically addressing the contact safety requirements of operating in shared domestic spaces with people, children, and pets. The feet integrate wireless charging coils supporting 2 kW inductive charging, enabling the robot to recharge autonomously by stepping onto a floor-mounted charging pad without requiring a physical docking port. The 2.3 kWh battery provides approximately 5 hours of continuous operation and has achieved UN38.3 battery safety certification, required for deployment in residential environments. An audio system featuring a repositioned microphone for improved voice capture clarity and a speaker four times more powerful than the Figure 02 model supports high-fidelity speech-to-speech interaction in domestic acoustic conditions.

The sensor suite represents a full redesign from Figure 02. Six cameras provide a field of view 60% wider per camera than the previous generation, with double the frame rate and one-quarter the latency, delivering a denser, more stable perceptual stream for high-frequency visuomotor control. Each hand now integrates an embedded palm camera providing close-range visual feedback when the primary cameras are occluded, such as when reaching inside cabinets or working in confined spaces. The custom tactile fingertip sensors, developed entirely in-house after Figure AI determined existing market options could not withstand real-world use, detect forces as small as 3 grams, sufficient to register the weight of a single paperclip which enable Helix 02 to predict and prevent object slip before it occurs during fine manipulation tasks. All 44 degrees of freedom are controlled by the Helix 02 -model, which processes the full visual, tactile, and audio perception stream to plan and execute actions entirely onboard and in real time without cloud dependency. A 10 Gbps mmWave wireless connection enables the fleet to offload terabytes of operational data daily to Figure AI's central training systems, creating a continuous closed-loop improvement cycle across all deployed units.

Connectivity

10 Gbps mmWave wireless for high-speed fleet data upload to Figure AI's central training infrastructure.
WiFi supported for OTA model updates and remote monitoring

Capabilities

Helix 02 VLA Control:
Proprietary Figure AI VLA model processes visual, tactile, and audio inputs and outputs coordinated physical actions across all 44 DoF in real time onboard, enabling true autonomous reasoning without scripted routines or cloud inference dependency.
Custom Tactile Fingertip Sensors (3g Sensitivity):
First-generation proprietary tactile sensors developed in-house for durability and long-term reliability, providing sub-gram force detection that enables Helix 02 to distinguish between secure grasps and impending slips before object loss occurs.
Embedded Palm Cameras for Close-Range Feedback:
Wide-field, low-latency cameras integrated into each hand palm maintain visual awareness during manipulation in occluded conditions, enabling continuous adaptive control when reaching into confined spaces.
2 kW Wireless Inductive Self-Charging:
Foot-integrated wireless charging coils allow the robot to recharge autonomously by stepping onto the charging pad, supporting self-managed power throughout the day without human assistance.
10 Gbps mmWave Fleet Data Offload:
Ultra-high-speed wireless data upload enables each robot to contribute terabytes of real-world operational data per day to Figure AI's training pipeline, accelerating Helix 02 model improvement across the entire fleet simultaneously.
Helix 02 Task Learning from Observation:
Figure 03 learns new tasks by observing human demonstrations, with the Helix 02 model generalising from limited examples — demonstrated by learning towel folding from 80 hours of video footage — and progressively expanding its autonomous task repertoire through operational experience.
