Figure 03
Is a Figure 03 safe around children?
Why a heavy commercial humanoid is the wrong machine to ask this about, what the record does and does not hold, and why we crown no verdict.
There is no verified answer, and the question is somewhat premature. Figure 03 is a 61-kilogram commercial workplace humanoid, not a home product, and Figure has published no child-safety testing. It holds zero incidents on our record, but zero is not a safety case. We will not tell you whether a Figure 03 is safe around your children, for two honest reasons. The first is the usual one: Figure has published no child-safety or home-safety testing, no force limits, and no certification to the household-robot standard ISO 13482, so there is nothing to verify a safety claim against. The second is more basic and more important: the Figure 03 is not a home robot. It is a commercial workplace humanoid, about 61 kilograms and built to carry a 20-kilogram payload in logistics settings, operated under human supervision in workplaces, not living rooms. That build is heavier than the home-aimed 1X NEO, and it is designed for a controlled industrial environment with trained staff, not a house with a toddler. So the child-safety question, as asked, is aimed at a machine that is not meant to be near children in the first place. On the record, Figure 03 carries zero safety incidents, and it is worth stating plainly that the field's recorded incidents sit on the Unitree G1, not the Figure 03. But that zero reflects the absence of any home deployment, not a demonstrated safety case. The honest verdict is that this cannot be answered for a household, because it is neither tested nor built for one. This is general information, not safety advice.
The honest response to this one starts by questioning the question. Figure 03 is a workplace humanoid, not a home robot: about 61 kilograms, built to carry a 20-kilogram payload, operated under supervision in logistics settings. It is heavier than the home-aimed 1X NEO and designed for a controlled industrial floor with trained staff, not a house with children.
So asking whether it is safe around kids is asking about a machine that is not meant to be near them. On top of that, Figure has published no child-safety testing, no force limits, and no certification to the household-robot standard, ISO 13482, so there is nothing to verify against even if it were a home product.
On the record, Figure 03 holds zero safety incidents, and the field's recorded incidents belong to the Unitree G1, not Figure. That zero is the absence of home deployment, not proof of gentleness. So we crown no verdict: the question cannot be honestly answered for a household, because the Figure 03 is neither tested nor built for one. This is general information, not safety advice.

What actually exists today
| What people ask about | Status | The reality |
|---|---|---|
| Published child-safety testing | None | Undisclosed. Figure has published no child-safety results, force limits, or ISO 13482 certification. There is nothing to verify a home-safety claim against. |
| Is it a home robot at all | No, a workplace humanoid | Verified. Figure 03 is a commercial workplace humanoid deployed in logistics under supervision, not a home product. The child-safety question is aimed at a machine not built to be near children. |
| Build and payload | About 61 kg, 20 kg payload | Verified. At about 61 kg carrying a 20 kg payload, Figure 03 is heavier than the home-aimed NEO and designed for an industrial floor, not a household. |
| Incidents on the record for Figure 03 | Zero | Verified zero for the Figure 03. The field's recorded safety incidents sit on the Unitree G1, not Figure. Zero here reflects no home deployment, not proof of safety. The live count is resolved from the record. |
| A verdict on child safety | Unanswerable for a home | Not answerable. With no testing and no home use, and a machine built for the workplace, there is no honest child-safety verdict to give for a household. We crown none. |
How to read the Figure 03 safety question
The honest move here is to resist forcing a verdict onto a machine the question does not really fit. Hold the reasons plainly.
Wrong machine for the question
Figure 03 is a workplace humanoid, heavier than a home robot and built for industrial floors. Asking whether it is safe around children asks about a machine not intended to be near them. That reframe is the honest core.
No testing to point to
Even setting the framing aside, Figure has published no child-safety testing, force limits, or certification. There is nothing to verify a safety claim against, so we make none.
Zero is not proven safe
Figure 03 holds zero incidents, and the field's incidents sit on the Unitree G1, not Figure. But a zero for a machine with no home deployment is an absence of data, not a safety case. We keep the attribution straight.
No verdict, no reassurance
We will not write that a Figure 03 is safe or unsafe around children. If Figure ever aims it at homes and publishes safety testing, this page gets a dated update. Until then the answer is that it cannot be answered.
What would change this
We track Figure 03 against the verified record and the live incident record so you do not have to. Any one of these moves the answer, and each becomes a dated line the week it happens:
- Figure announces a home or consumer version of the Figure 03.
- Figure publishes child-safety or home-safety testing, force limits, or an ISO 13482 certification.
- A verified safety incident lands on the Figure 03, or a field incident is resolved or retracted.
- An independent assessment measures the Figure 03's contact force around people.
- Home-robot safety scrutiny follows real incidents. Right now the verified record holds zero safety incidents for the Figure 03 itself, while the field's incidents sit on the Unitree G1, and every new one is logged the week it lands.
How we know this
Figure 03's commercial nature, its build and payload, its supervised workplace operation, and its zero incidents are on the verified DEPLOY record. The correct attribution of the field's incidents to the Unitree G1 comes from the same record. The absence of published child-safety testing is stated plainly, and we never write that the Figure 03 is safe or unsafe around children.
If Figure aims the 03 at homes and publishes safety testing, or a new incident lands, or you can show us we got something wrong, our corrections process logs the response on the record.
Common questions
Is a Figure 03 safe around children?
There is no verified answer, and the question is premature. Figure 03 is a 61-kilogram commercial workplace humanoid, not a home product, and Figure has published no child-safety testing. It holds zero incidents on our record, but zero reflects the absence of home deployment, not a safety case. We crown no verdict. This is general information, not safety advice.
Is the Figure 03 designed for homes?
No. It is a workplace humanoid deployed in logistics under supervision, about 61 kilograms and built to carry a 20-kilogram payload. It is heavier than the home-aimed 1X NEO and designed for an industrial floor with trained staff, not a household with children.
Does the Figure 03 have safety incidents?
No. Figure 03 carries zero safety incidents on the DEPLOY record. The only home humanoid with recorded incidents is the Unitree G1, which holds the field's five, and none of them is a Figure. A zero record for Figure 03 reflects no home deployment, not proven safety.
Why can't you just say whether it is safe?
Because there is no basis to. Figure has published no child-safety testing, and the Figure 03 is not built or deployed for homes, so there is neither test data nor real-world home use to draw on. Writing safe or unsafe would be inventing a verdict, which we will not do.
