Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot (www.figure.ai)

Figure has unveiled Figure 03, its third-generation humanoid robot built to run Helix—its proprietary vision-language-action AI—and to operate safely in homes and at commercial scale. The robot pairs a ground-up hardware redesign (new sensory suite, palm cameras, compliant hands, safer battery and soft exterior) with manufacturing changes aimed at high-volume production. Key specs: next‑gen vision with 2× frame rate, 4× lower latency (quarter latency), 60% wider FOV per camera and expanded depth-of-field; embedded palm cameras for occlusion-resistant close-range feedback; fingertip tactile sensors sensitive to ~3 grams and designed for durability; 10 Gbps mmWave data offload; 2 kW inductive charging in the feet; lighter form factor (–9% mass) and upgraded audio for two-way voice reasoning. Batteries meet UN38.3 and include multi-layer BMS protections. Significance: Figure 03 is engineered for pixels-to-action continuous learning and fleet-scale deployment—BotQ, Figure’s in-house factory, targets 12,000 units/year initially and up to 100,000 over four years. Design-for-manufacture changes (die-casting, injection molding, stamping), verticalized supply chain, and an MES for traceability aim to slash unit cost and accelerate iteration. For AI/ML and robotics, the platform’s low-latency, high-fidelity sensory stream, durable tactile sensing, high-bandwidth data offload, and faster actuators (2× speed, higher torque density) materially improve real-time perception, dexterous manipulation, and the ability to collect terabytes of field data for continual model improvement.
