1. Product positioning
Figure is an AI robot company focusing on general-purpose humanoid robots, and its current main product is Figure 03 for home scenarios. It is positioned not as a toy or a single-function appliance, but as a "universal labor" that can autonomously complete chores such as laundry, tidying, and simple cleaning in a real home environment. The height of the whole machine is about 1.73 meters, the weight is 61 kg, the load is 20 kg, the battery life is about five hours, the use of all-electric drive, the body shape and mobility are closer to that of an adult, and the height of space, stairs and furniture has good adaptability.
2. Core Highlights
At the hardware level, Figure 03 has a walking speed of about 1.2 meters per second, which can move stably in rooms, aisles and stairwells. The all-electric system is relatively simple to maintain and also reduces noise and odor, making it more suitable for working indoors for long periods of time. Five hours of battery life means it can handle a round of housework tasks in a row without having to recharge frequently.
At the intelligence level, it is powered by the Helix Universal Visual Language Action Model, where perception, motion control, and decision-making are done in a closed loop in real-time on the ground, without relying on pre-recorded fixed scripts. Users can directly express their needs in natural language, such as asking it to clean up the table and put clothes in the washing machine, and it will combine the camera to understand the scene, plan the steps and execute them, which greatly lowers the threshold for use.
3. Evolution route and usage scenarios
Theoverall route of the figure is to polish capabilities in industrial and logistics scenarios first, and then enter the family. The company has previously launched Figure 01 and Figure 02, the former validating basic motor ability, and the latter optimizing hand dexterity, battery integration and overall machine structure to better suit the real working environment. Based on these experiences, Figure 03 is softer in appearance materials and interaction methods, making it suitable for long-term use in living rooms, kitchens and other spaces. For the average user, its most realistic value is to take on repetitive, time-consuming, but must-do chores, freeing up more time for work, hobbies, and spending time with family.
4. Q&A
Q1: What is the difference between Figure 03 and robot vacuum cleaner and dishwasher?
A: Robot vacuum cleaners and dishwashers are single-function devices that can only complete specific tasks in fixed areas; Figure 03 is a general-purpose humanoid robot that can move between rooms and operate different appliances and tools, more like a home assistant that can be dispatched at any time.
Q2: The space at home is not large, can Figure 03 adapt?
A: It is close to adult height, but the design goal is to act in a real home, with ordinary door openings and narrow aisles, and can also replan paths in complex layouts. Generally speaking, as long as adults have no problem walking at home, Figure 03 can also pass.
Q3: Does Figure 03 require professionals to program?
A: No programming in the traditional sense is required. It relies on Helix models to understand speech and visual information, and users can learn tasks with verbal instructions or simple demonstrations, and then continue to optimize behavior, which is much lower than traditional robot systems that require writing code and configuration.
