Figure 03
Figure AI
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
Kepler K2 Bumblebee
Kepler RoboticsKepler K2 Bumblebee is a commercial industrial humanoid from Shanghai. It is 175 cm, 75 kg, 52 DoF, with 11-DoF hands, a hybrid roller-screw/rotary actuator design, 100 TOPS compute, and a claimed 30 kg dual-arm payload and 8-hour runtime on a one-hour charge. Kepler lists a $30,000 base price or RMB 248,000 and announced mass production and shipments in September 2025. The most concrete positive evidence is a company-described gait video showing the robot walking over bricks, plastic and grass and remaining stable under pushes. Commercial proof is limited: confirmed orders of over 47 million yuan are reported, and an official video title suggests a Zhaofeng Motor on-the-job log, but 2025 revenue was only 4.34 million yuan with heavy losses and the company was acquired at a lower valuation. Autonomy, endurance and manipulation claims are mostly company statements without independent verification; many demo videos are title-only with no teleoperation disclosure
