Figure-03

Responding directly to Tesla's latest update, Brett Adcock shares footage of the Figure 03 running, fueling a debate on the closing gap between robotic and human motion.

A lawsuit filed by Figure’s former safety lead Rob Gruendel alleges he was fired for warning that the company’s robots were powerful enough to kill—a claim that complicates the startup’s aggressive push into the home.

TIME Magazine has recognized two humanoid robots, the ultra-affordable Unitree R1 and the domestically-focused Figure 03, in its annual Best Inventions list, signaling the growing mainstream relevance of bipedal robotics.

A new TIME Magazine cover story provides the first in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at Figure and its new Figure 03 humanoid. The report contrasts the company's grand ambitions for a robot in every home with the current, often clumsy, reality of its capabilities, highlighting the significant data and safety hurdles that remain.

Figure has officially announced its third-generation humanoid, Figure 03. The new model features a complete hardware and software redesign focused on enabling its 'Helix' AI system, improving safety for home environments, and streamlining the robot for high-volume manufacturing.
