Figure 01
Figure AIFigure 01 is a superseded first-generation Figure prototype with useful early demos for walking, coffee-machine interaction, and speech-grounded action, but no customer-confirmed deployment. Do not credit it with BMW production metrics, which belong to Figure 02
HMND 01
Humanoid
HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled is Humanoid's tall 220 cm, 300 kg wheeled humanoid with 29 active DoF, 15 kg bimanual payload, 4 h average runtime and 2 m/s wheeled speed. It uses a 12-DoF hand or 1-DoF gripper and 360-degree RGB plus depth sensors. Evidence includes a Ford POC with company-reported 97% autonomous pick-and-place reliability and 83 picks/hour, a Schaeffler CES bin picking demo described as fully autonomous, and early access partnerships with Schaeffler, Siemens and SAP/Martur Fompak. Bosch is the contract manufacturing partner. No public price exists, and most deployments are POCs or early access rather than full commercial operations
