Today marks a watershed moment in robotics as Figure AI officially unveils the Figure 03 robot, pushing the boundaries of what artificial intelligence and robotics can achieve in both home and industrial environments. As the world’s first humanoid platform built for everyday domestic use and mass commercial deployment, Figure 03 blends nimble engineering with breakthrough “Helix” vision-language-action AI to deliver real-world assistance in ways that promise to free up human time like never before.
A New Standard for Home and Industry
The Figure 03 is not merely a technical upgrade—it’s a complete reimagining of how robots integrate into daily life. Standing at five-foot-six, the robot comes equipped with palm-mounted cameras, tactile sensors, and a redesigned hand system engineered for delicate and precise work. These features allow it to fold laundry, load dishwashers, and perform a growing range of chores traditionally reserved for humans. Safety remains a core part of the design, with new soft textiles, layered foam coverings, and wireless charging using inductive foot plates, making the device genuinely practical for indoor tasks and safe around people.
Powered by Helix: Smarter, More Human-Like AI
The true innovation lies behind its actions: Helix, the proprietary AI powering Figure 03. This advanced neural network learns through observation, absorbing video data as human pilots record themselves performing various tasks, from folding towels to preparing kitchens. With each update, the robot’s capacity to reason and act grows more refined, moving Figure 03 ever closer to becoming a true “general-purpose” household and workplace assistant.
Designed for Scalability and Everyday Life
This generation marks the first time Figure AI has designed every part of its robot for mass production and global deployment. Components are over 90% less expensive to manufacture compared to previous models, opening the path for widespread adoption not just at home but across factories, warehouses, and restaurants. The robot’s washable soft goods, customizable uniforms, and advanced safety standards make Figure 03 a seamless fit for real-world spaces.
Big Industry Backing and the Road Ahead
The October release comes after Figure AI secured hundreds of millions in new investment, raising industry expectations that Figure 03 and its Helix AI will fundamentally change both the modern workplace and the home. While the journey to fully autonomous household robots is ongoing, Figure 03’s launch signals an imminent revolution—one in which AI-powered robots perform our daily chores and shift how we balance labor, leisure, and the value of time.
