What the Figure 03 can do

evidence by capability dimension
Manipulation
Tier 3 · company data

Company demos show Figure 03 with Helix 02 unloading and reloading a dishwasher, extracting pills, dispensing syringe volumes and singulating small objects; the public package-sorting livestream showed sustained pick-and-place of small packages with barcode orientation. Hands add tactile fingertips and palm cameras.

Autonomy
Tier 3 · company data

Figure reports a 200-hour livestreamed package-sorting run with 249,560 packages and claims no teleoperation; Helix 2.5 reports 56% zero-shot success across three household behaviors in 30 unseen homes. Helix 02 demos are described by Figure as fully autonomous.

Mobility
Tier 2 · demo

Product page lists 1.2 m/s. Demos show walking while manipulating across a kitchen and living room, pulling a cart at BMW, and an autonomous ladder climb; robots walked to wireless charging docks during the livestream.

Perception
Tier 2 · demo

Figure claims an upgraded camera system plus palm cameras and tactile sensing feeding a single visuomotor network; package sorting required locating barcodes; Helix 2.5 home tests used unseen objects and layouts.

Human interaction
Tier 1 · spec

Figure and BMW describe upgraded audio hardware for speech-to-speech communication; the product page says users can talk to, ask or delegate tasks to the robot.

Reliability
Tier 3 · company data

Figure reports 200 continuous hours of package sorting by a rotating group of three robots with zero hardware failures, plus a 10-hour single-robot contest at 2.83 s per package versus an intern at 2.79 s. Production post reports burn-in tests and 80+ functional checks per robot.

Human-environment fit
Tier 2 · demo

Human-sized (5'8", 61 kg) with multi-density foam at pinch points, soft textile covering and wireless foot charging; operated in Figure's internal test homes and in a BMW plant hall.

What is proven

source-backed highlights
  • Continuous public livestream of package sorting with company-reported 200 hours and 249,560 packages.
  • 10-hour contest at 2.83 s per package vs 2.79 s for a human.
  • BMW customer release confirming a Figure 03 logistics sequencing task.
  • Helix 02 long-horizon household and fine-dexterity demos; Helix 2.5 56% zero-shot success in 30 homes.

Caveats

read before you trust a demo
  • No price, pre-order, lease or retail channel was found in primary sources
  • No independent benchmark or intervention log.
  • No BMW output or hours for Figure 03.

About the Figure 03

summary from sourced evidence

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
