Frequently asked questions about Figure
What is Figure 03?
Figure 03 is Figure's third-generation general purpose humanoid robot designed for the home and Helix AI. It features a completely redesigned sensory suite and hand system, soft goods for home safety, wireless inductive charging, and an improved audio system. Figure 03 takes care of household tasks like laundry, cleaning, and doing dishes autonomously.
What is Helix?
Helix is Figure's proprietary vision-language-action AI that enables Figure 03 to navigate unpredictable, ever-changing home environments. Helix 02 provides full-body autonomy, allowing the robot to reason throughout the world and perform human-like tasks while learning directly from people.
What household tasks can Figure handle?
Figure autonomously handles laundry, cleaning, and dishwashing. Helix has demonstrated capabilities including loading the dishwasher, folding laundry, bedroom tidy, and living room tidy. The robot is designed to perform the widest possible range of household tasks the way you would.
How long does Figure 03 run on one charge?
Figure 03 has a 5-hour runtime. It features wireless inductive charging at 2 kW, allowing the robot to automatically dock and recharge itself by stepping onto a wireless charging stand as needed throughout the day.
How does Figure 03 navigate homes?
Figure 03 is engineered for real homes and navigates stairs, tight corners, and shifting layouts with ease. Its next-generation vision system delivers twice the frame rate, one-quarter the latency, and a 60% wider field of view per camera. Embedded palm cameras provide redundant visual feedback during grasps in confined spaces.
Can I talk to Figure?
Yes. Figure 03 features an upgraded audio hardware system for better real-time speech-to-speech interaction. The speaker is twice the size and nearly four times more powerful than Figure 02, with the microphone repositioned for improved performance. You can talk, ask, or delegate tasks—Figure understands and takes action.
Where is Figure 03 manufactured?
Figure 03 is manufactured at BotQ, Figure's dedicated high-volume manufacturing facility. BotQ's first-generation line can produce up to 12,000 humanoid robots per year, with a goal of producing 100,000 robots over the next four years. Figure brought production of critical systems in-house rather than using contract manufacturers.
Can Figure 03 work in commercial environments?
Yes. Figure 03 is well-suited for commercial applications with actuators performing at 2x faster speeds and improved torque density. The robot can intelligently navigate commercial environments, execute precise manipulation, and operate near-continuously with inductive charging. F.02 previously contributed to producing 30,000 cars at BMW.
What makes Figure 03's hands special?
Figure 03 hands feature softer, more adaptive fingertips with increased surface contact area for stable grasps on varied objects. Each fingertip has a first-generation tactile sensor detecting forces as small as three grams—sensitive enough to register a paperclip's weight. Each hand also integrates an embedded palm camera with wide field of view for visual feedback during grasps.
