Figure 03 vs Honda ASIMO

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

Honda ASIMO is a retired bipedal research humanoid, first unveiled in 2000 and final active in 2022. The 2011 final version is reported as 130 cm tall, with 57 DoF, walking at 2.7 km/h and running at 9 km/h, powered by a 51.8V lithium-ion battery. Weight is conflicting at 54 kg or 48 kg. ASIMO demonstrated walking, running, hopping, stair climbing, push recovery, face/voice recognition, and serving drinks, but all evidence is from secondary sources or video titles; no official Honda spec sheet, independent benchmark, or commercial deployment is available. It was never sold, only leased to museums and events, and is not currently purchasable
