Overview

Figure 03 is Figure AI’s third-generation general-purpose humanoid robot, launched October 2025 as a “general-purpose home humanoid.” Named one of TIME’s Best Inventions 2025, Figure 03 combines advanced AI manipulation with a robust bipedal design aimed at both industrial and domestic applications.

What are the specifications of Figure 03?

  • Design: Advanced AI manipulation, robust bipedal platform
  • Capabilities: Cloth folding, dishwasher loading (with occasional human assist)
  • Manufacturing: BotQ facility capable of producing 12,000 robots/year
  • Cost Reduction: 90% component cost reduction vs Figure 02

What are the applications of Figure 03?

Industrial workflows, complex manipulation tasks, home assistance (laundry, dishwasher loading), automotive manufacturing integration.

Where has Figure 03 been deployed?

Active industrial facility deployments. BMW is a key automotive integration partner. Figure AI’s BotQ production facility is operational with 12,000 units/year capacity.

How much does Figure 03 cost and where can you buy it?

Status: 🔴 Not yet publicly purchasable

Target Price: Below $20,000 for consumers (not yet final). Enterprise pricing active for industrial deployments.

How to Purchase: No public pre-order available yet. Register interest at figure.ai. CEO Brett Adcock has stated consumer release requires the robot to “do most things in your home, autonomously, all day” before broad release. Expected consumer availability: 2026–2027 for select homes.

Why does Figure 03 matter?

Figure 03 is the first humanoid robot on TIME’s Best Inventions list. With a 90% component cost reduction from Figure 02, Figure AI is demonstrating the rapid cost curve decline needed for consumer-scale humanoid robotics. CEO Brett Adcock plans select home deployments in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions About Figure 03

What is Figure 03 used for?

Figure 03 is a general-purpose humanoid robot designed for both industrial and domestic applications. It performs complex manipulation tasks including cloth folding and dishwasher loading. In industrial settings, it supports automotive manufacturing workflows, with BMW serving as a key integration partner for factory floor deployments.

Who manufactures Figure 03?

Figure AI manufactures the Figure 03 at its BotQ production facility, which has a capacity of 12,000 units per year. The company collaborated with OpenAI on AI development. Named one of TIME’s Best Inventions 2025, Figure 03 launched in October 2025 as Figure AI’s third-generation humanoid robot platform.

How much does Figure 03 cost?

Figure 03 is not yet available for public purchase as of 2026. The company targets a consumer price below $20,000, though final pricing has not been confirmed. Enterprise pricing is active for industrial deployments. CEO Brett Adcock has stated consumer release requires the robot to perform most home tasks autonomously before broad availability.

What are the key specifications of Figure 03?

Figure 03 stands 1.68 m (5 feet 6 inches) tall and weighs 60 kg (132 lbs). It has 44 degrees of freedom total with 16 DoF per hand. The robot moves at 1.2 m/s (4.3 km/h), carries up to 20 kg, and has an approximately 16-hour battery life. It uses 6 onboard cameras for perception.

Where is Figure 03 currently deployed?

Figure 03 is deployed in active industrial facilities with BMW as a key automotive manufacturing partner. The BotQ production facility is operational and producing units. CEO Brett Adcock plans select home deployments in 2026, with broader consumer availability expected in the 2026 to 2027 timeframe for select households.

How does Figure 03 compare to other humanoid robots?

Figure 03 achieved a 90 percent component cost reduction compared to its predecessor Figure 02, demonstrating rapid cost curve decline. Its 16-hour battery life exceeds most competitors significantly. With 16 DoF per hand, it has among the highest dexterity in the humanoid robot market, supporting complex tasks like fabric folding.

What AI capabilities does Figure 03 have?

Figure 03 runs on the Helix foundation model developed in collaboration with OpenAI. It uses 6 onboard cameras for spatial perception and object recognition. The AI system enables complex manipulation tasks such as cloth folding and dishwasher loading, with the ability to learn new tasks through its foundation model architecture.
