EngineAI SE01 vs Figure 03

EngineAI SE01 is a full-size biped humanoid (170 cm, 55 kg, 32 DoF) introduced in October 2024 as the company's first humanoid with a natural, human-like walking gait. The gait is achieved through end-to-end neural networks, reinforcement learning, and imitation learning using self-developed harmonic joint modules. Specs include 330 Nm joint torque, dual NVIDIA/Intel processors, and stereo cameras (plus LiDAR/depth/IR per unofficial source). Evidence consists of official and third-party videos with titles indicating walking demos, including a long-distance campus test, but no transcripts or independent analysis. There is no evidence of autonomous task execution, manipulation beyond a spec claim of dexterous hands, customer deployment, or official pricing

Figure 03 is Figure AI's current third-generation biped humanoid (5'8", 61 kg, 20 kg payload, 5 h listed runtime, 1.2 m/s) with tactile fingertips, palm cameras and wireless foot charging. Its strongest evidence is a public package-sorting livestream that Figure reports ran 200 hours with 249,560 packages and near-human per-package speed, plus a BMW-confirmed logistics sequencing use case at Spartanburg. Household and dexterity demos (dishwasher, pills, syringe, 56% zero-shot success in 30 homes) are company-published. Autonomy is asserted but not independently audited, BMW has published no Figure 03 output metrics, and the robot is not for sale
