Common questions
- What is Figure 03?
- Figure AI's production-grade general-purpose humanoid, unveiled October 2025. Roughly 5'8" / ~61 kg with a soft textile exterior, tactile sensing hands, and wireless foot charging; runs Figure's Helix VLA model. Manufactured at Figure's BotQ facility.
- Is Figure 03 actually deployed in the real world?
- Yes. Figure 03 is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.
- Is Figure 03 autonomous or teleoperated?
- Not verified as fully autonomous. Figure 03's capabilities on the DEPLOY registry are recorded as teleoperated-assisted, demonstrated-only, or vendor claims (Does dishes), not independently confirmed to run without a human in the loop.
- Who makes Figure 03?
- Figure 03 is made by Figure AI, based in Sunnyvale, California, USA, founded in 2022.
- Where is Figure 03 deployed?
- 2 verified deployments of Figure 03 are on the DEPLOY registry, including at Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA, Catalyst Brands Reno Distribution Logistics Center.
- What AI powers Figure 03?
- Figure 03 runs Helix (and Helix-02). Each brain assignment is verified at the registry level via primary sources.
- What are alternatives to Figure 03?
- On the DEPLOY registry, comparable humanoid robots to Figure 03 include Digit, Walker S2, Apollo, Unitree H2 Plus.
- How does Figure 03 compare to Digit?
- Figure 03 and Digit (Agility Robotics · 8 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. Figure 03 has 2 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
- Is Figure 03 a top humanoid?
- On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Figure 03 ranks in roughly the top 9% of humanoid models tracked by the registry.
- What is Figure 03's maturity stage?
- Figure 03 is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
- Is Figure 03 safe?
- Figure 03 has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
