The latest demonstration of the Figure 03 highlights advancements in autonomous navigation, moving beyond controlled environments toward complex real-world household tasks.
Figure 03
Prototype 2025 Business & Consumer
Figure AI’s third-generation general-purpose humanoid, built for both home tasks and factory logistics, driven by its in-house Helix AI.
Overview
Figure 03 was unveiled in October 2025 as Figure AI’s first home-oriented humanoid, adding soft coverings, wireless foot-charging, tactile fingertips and palm cameras. It runs the in-house Helix vision-language-action model and is built on Figure’s BotQ line. As of 2026 it is not sold publicly and runs in commercial pilots, notably sorting logistics components at BMW’s Spartanburg plant.
