Figure 03: A Home-Ready Humanoid Built for Scale
Figure 03 is Figure AI’s third-generation humanoid robot — and the first they explicitly frame for home environments while preparing for mass production. The company positions it as the hardware platform for Helix, its generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) intelligence system, designed to bring human-level reasoning and motor control into daily life.
What’s new in Figure 03
Figure describes 03 as a ground-up redesign of both hardware and software to perform “human-like tasks” and learn directly from people. Unlike its predecessors, 03 has been re-imagined for the home after years of workforce testing — emphasizing softer surfaces, safety, and user interaction without sacrificing performance.
On Figure’s main site, the concept is simple: “The future of home help is here. Figure 03 is a general-purpose humanoid robot for every day.” It’s designed to handle ordinary household tasks while serving as the first truly adaptable home robot powered by embodied AI.
Helix: The brain powering 03
Helix is Figure’s generalist VLA model — a single intelligence that integrates perception, reasoning, and movement in real time. Helix allows 03 to see, decide, and act without relying on pre-programmed routines. It continuously learns from demonstrations and from its own experience, improving with every task it performs.
In industrial pilots, Helix has already shown strong learning efficiency, improving task success rates and motion precision over short periods of training. That same learning capability is now being translated into domestic settings, where adaptability and context awareness are critical.
Powering the platform: the F.03 battery
Figure has also revealed the F.03 battery, built for safety, energy density, and scalability. It’s the first robotic battery announced with full UL safety certification and multilayered protection systems. Designed and manufactured at Figure’s BotQ facility, the F.03 battery represents the company’s broader goal of delivering consumer-grade reliability at industrial scale.
Built for scale: BotQ manufacturing
To bring 03 to market, Figure is building BotQ, a high-volume production facility capable of manufacturing up to 12,000 humanoid robots per year in its first generation, with plans for major expansion. BotQ represents a decisive move beyond prototype manufacturing — a step toward true scalability in humanoid production.
Where 03 fits in the roadmap
Figure’s lineup shows a clear evolution:
- F.02 – optimized for industrial and logistics work, with improved dexterity and a torso-integrated battery.
- F.03 – redesigned specifically for home use, focusing on interaction, safety, and aesthetics while retaining robust motion capabilities.
This progression marks a shift from humanoids built for factories to humanoids designed for human spaces.
Why Figure 03 matters
- Home-first design: A humanoid developed for domestic life from day one — built to operate safely and naturally in human environments.
- On-board generalist AI: Helix provides adaptive control and skill learning, allowing 03 to handle complex, unstructured tasks.
- Manufacturing and safety readiness: With its BotQ production system and certified F.03 battery, Figure is preparing for real-world volume deployment rather than limited research prototypes.
What to watch next
The next milestones for Figure 03 will center on:
- Capability detail — when the company releases full specifications on dexterity, runtime, and autonomy.
- Home pilot programs — to demonstrate reliability and safety in real households.
- Skill generalization — how quickly Helix can adapt from structured industrial work to the unpredictable nature of everyday life.
Bottom line
Figure 03 represents Figure AI’s boldest step toward a general-purpose home humanoid — combining a redesigned body, an integrated generalist AI, and a scalable production plan. If the company can deliver the safety, affordability, and dependability it promises, 03 could mark the moment when humanoid robots move from the lab and the factory floor into the everyday home.
