Figure 02
Figure AIFigure 02 is a superseded second-generation Figure humanoid with strong customer-confirmed BMW production evidence, including operating hours and output metrics. Its broader manipulation/autonomy claims should be interpreted conservatively because they mostly come from company demos
RobotEra L7
RobotEra
RobotEra L7 is a 171 cm, 65 kg full-size bipedal humanoid with 55 DoF and XHAND1 12-DoF hands, claimed to run the ERA-42 VLA model. It has demonstrated impressive whole-body mobility in media-described videos: 360-degree spins, breakdancing, and a sword dance with leaps and stable landings, plus fine manipulation such as screw-driving, paper towel tearing, and a CES 2026 massage title. However, no L7 demo discloses autonomy, no price or runtime is published, and no named L7 customer deployment exists. Commercial claims of 200 robots shipped are company-wide. Overall, strong kinematic demos but unproven autonomy and accessibility
