Figure 03: The Next Leap in Humanoid Robotics

Figure 03 is the latest humanoid robot developed by Figure AI, a California-based robotics startup founded in 2022 by Brett Adcock. Designed for real-world environments—from homes to warehouses—Figure 03 is a full-sized, bipedal robot capable of performing everyday tasks like folding laundry, washing dishes, and navigating complex spaces.

About Figure AI

Figure AI is backed by major tech investors including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Jeff Bezos. Its mission is to create scalable, general-purpose humanoid robots that can fill labor gaps and assist in daily life.

• Founded in 2022 by Brett Adcock
• Headquartered in California
• Focused on real-world deployment of humanoid robots
• Backed by OpenAI, Microsoft, and Jeff Bezos

Architecture Highlights

At the heart of Figure 03 is Helix, a proprietary Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that enables real-time decision-making without pre-scripted commands.

• Vision: Wide field of view and high frame rate
• Language: Natural language comprehension and contextual reasoning
• Action: Dexterous hands and stable locomotion for task execution
• Unified System: Integrates perception, planning, and control

Helix makes Figure 03 one of the first humanoids capable of unscripted, adaptive behavior in dynamic environments.

What Makes Figure 03 Revolutionary?

Figure 03 isn’t just a robot with limbs—it’s a general-purpose AI agent powered by Helix, a proprietary vision-language-action (VLA) model that allows it to understand, reason, and act in real time. It doesn’t follow scripts. It learns, adapts, and responds to the world like a human would.

• Vision Upgrade: 60% wider field of view and 2× faster frame rate
• Latency: Reduced by 75% for near-instant reactions
• Mobility: Walks, balances, and navigates complex environments
• Hands: Redesigned for dexterity—capable of folding laundry, pouring drinks, and more

Built for the Real World

Unlike its industrial predecessors, Figure 03 is engineered for human-centric environments. It’s 5'6" tall, weighs 60 kg, and is designed to operate safely around people.

• Home Integration: Wireless charging, soft-touch materials, and voice interaction
• Safety First: Advanced sensors and AI-driven motion planning
• Household Tasks: From dishwashing to plant watering, it’s your new domestic ally

Curious how it performs in a real home? Is the Figure 03 Robot Ready to Clean Your House? puts it to the test in a domestic setting.

Beyond the Home: A Workforce Revolution

Figure AI envisions a future where humanoid robots fill labor gaps in logistics, manufacturing, and elder care. With a modular design and scalable production, Figure 03 is built for mass deployment.

• Production-Ready: Designed for large-scale manufacturing
• Cost Target: Estimated between $20,000–$30,000 per unit
• Job Impact: Analysts predict up to 8 million jobs could be augmented or replaced by 2040
