Figure 03
Figure 03 is Figure's third humanoid, pitched for both factories and homes. Figure says its BotQ plant had built more than 350 by April 2026, and those went to internal R&D, data collection, housework trials and commercial pilots. The first customer site is BMW's Spartanburg plant, where it started logistics sequencing work in June 2026. There is no consumer price, no ordering and no public date for homes.

Trust and legalWhat these mean
Does a remote human drive it?
Not disclosed
Figure says Figure 03 runs on its Helix 02 vision-language-action model. No one outside Figure has checked how much remote help it gets.
US FCC
Unknown
No FCC ID found. Built in the US at BotQ, so the July 2026 foreign-made rule does not apply.

- Figure AI1 kept · 1 slipped · 1 open
Under a commercial agreement, Figure robots would be deployed in stages into live production at BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina plant
KeptFigure said on 2025-11-19 that Figure 02 units ran 10-hour weekday shifts on an active BMW line for about six months, with 1,250+ hours of runtime and a role in building 30,000+ X3s. Figure 02 was then retired in favor of Figure 03. These numbers come from Figure. Source
Figure would start 'alpha testing' its humanoid (then Figure 02) in homes later in 2025, two years earlier than planned
SlippedWe found no public record of Figure robots being tested in outside homes in 2025. Figure's first published multi-home results came on 2026-09-17, when Helix 2.5 was tested in 30 rented Bay Area homes. Figure evaluated those tests itself. Source
In 2026, humanoid robots will do unsupervised, multi-day tasks in homes they have never seen before
OpenOn 2026-09-17 Figure reported that Helix 2.5 finished 56% of 420 household tasks in 30 unfamiliar rented homes. That was a single-task evaluation with a safety overseer, not a multi-day unsupervised run, and nobody outside Figure has replicated it. Source
