A new era of robot assistants begins with the advent of Figure 03

Creating a universal humanoid robot capable of freely existing in unpredictable conditions at home or in a complex factory site has long been a dream of artificial intelligence. Now, with the announcement of Figure 03, the Figure AI company is not just presenting another piece of equipment - it is setting a completely new vector for the development of robotics, shifting the focus from unique industrial installations to mass-produced unified machines that can become an assistant to everyone.

Figure 03 embodies a grand vision: the creation of a “helper of the future.” This model is designed for mass distribution, accumulating experience from industrial applications and collecting critical data to rapidly evolve and pave the way for its debut in the consumer market in 2026.

Designed for the kitchen but ready for production

The most ambitious goal of Figure 03 is not technical improvement at all, but commercial success: mass production. The third generation of the robot was created from scratch for high-volume production.

This pursuit of scale led to strict financial goal setting. Figure AI has targeted unit prices below $20,000 for high-volume production, reducing component costs by a record 90% compared to the previous model, Figure 02. Simplification and optimization efforts have focused on plans to assemble the Figure 03 at BotQ's own plant, clearly demonstrating the company's readiness to go global.

The robot itself retains a classic humanoid format: its height is about 1.68 meters (5 feet 6 inches) and its weight is about 60 kg, which allows it to fit comfortably into spaces intended for humans: passing through ordinary doorways, reaching the top shelves and using ordinary tools. Safety is a top priority for home use, with soft fabrics, layered foam padding and washable surfaces to ensure maximum safety in unpredictable home environments.

A look at the battery's completed performance in the summer of 2025

A home assistant is useless if it is tethered to an outlet. Autonomy is the key to full freedom of action. That's why at the heart of Figure 03 is a specially designed 2.3 kWh battery that provides up to five hours of continuous operation at peak load. The battery itself is a triumph of efficiency and safety, having been redesigned to cut manufacturing costs by as much as 78% compared to its predecessor, the F.02. The latest multi-level battery protection is certified to UN and UL standards, making it safe for installation in homes. All this is complemented by wireless induction charging with a power of 2 kW, located in the legs of the robot, thanks to which it automatically stands on a special platform for recharging without human intervention.

Sensory arsenal: the art of sensation through touch

While Figure 03 remains strong enough to handle logistics, manufacturing and warehouse tasks, its most significant feature is its advanced sense of touch.

The arm has been completely redesigned, giving it refinement and precision of movement. Each finger is equipped with its own tactile sensors that can sense pressure as small as three grams—the equivalent of the weight of a paper clip. This sensitivity allows the Helix system to distinguish between a firm grip and an impending slip, allowing the robot to gently handle fragile, irregular or moving objects. Cameras built right into the palm provide localized visual feedback needed to accurately grasp small objects when general vision is difficult.

Helix system: the brain of your home

The smart component of Figure 03 is Helix, a unique Vision-Language-Action (VLA) neural network created by Figure AI. Helix allows the robot to receive and interpret complex visual information and voice commands, translating them into physical actions. Comprehensive autonomy covers a variety of use cases, from simple cleaning tasks such as loading the dishwasher, to cooking in the kitchen and even simple care for the elderly (a natural extension of the idea of ​​a "home assistant").

Helix's continuous improvement relies on data, and Figure 03 itself is designed to serve as an effective data collection tool. The device is equipped with a high-speed data transmission channel of 10 Gbit/s, which allows you to transfer enormous amounts of data back to training centers in real time. An exclusive proprietary approach ensures that every hour of operation of each Figure 03 instance benefits the entire robot fleet.

The first stage of full-scale implementation is planned for October 2025, when partners will have the opportunity to test the robot in their offices and warehouses. By strategically leveraging enterprise spaces to harvest data, Figure AI plans to accelerate robot training and preparation for introduction into a complex and unstable home, paving the way for the first truly versatile humanoid robot on the market.
