Figure 03 (home variant)

What it's for

The home version of the Figure 03 is for now an announcement from a presentation, not a product available in homes. Figure AI showed it in October 2025 as the target version of the same humanoid, with washable, soft textiles on the outside, wireless charging and an audio system tuned for conversation. The robot is to be powered by the Helix system, an AI model known in the industry as VLA (we describe it in “VLA Models: How AI Controls Humanoid Robots in 2026”).

What is realistically possible today? According to the sources in our catalog, the robot is tested only in industrial environments with Figure's partners. In industry the scenario is concrete: moving parts on a line, sorting, working at stations designed for people. The previous generation, the Figure 02, supported the production of more than 30,000 vehicles at the BMW plant in Spartanburg. For the home, Figure names 2028 as an indicative goal for the industry's first home humanoids, not as its own launch date.

Which sectors could benefit once the technology matures? Home and senior care (homes) is the direction announced outright. The factory (factories) is where this robot family already works today. Retail and hospitality are only guesswork; Figure announces nothing of the kind, so there is no point planning around it. The manufacturer hasn't published any specification of the home variant: no height, weight, degrees of freedom or payload. If you want to understand what such numbers mean, an explanation is in the article on “Degrees of Freedom (DOF) in Humanoid Robots”.

Who it's for

Nobody can buy this robot today: there is no price, no pre-order and no distribution channel. It makes sense as something to watch for three groups. First, people following the humanoid market who want to know who will deliver a real home product first; a comparison of the forces at play is in “Humanoid Robot Market Forecasts”. Second, large manufacturing companies interested in the industrial version. Third, investors and journalists, for whom the USD 39 billion valuation is a separate topic.

Probably not for: Families looking for help at home within the next two years: this is an announcement with no sale date. Don't plan a budget around the USD 20,000 figure circulating online; a third-party blog gives it without a source. If you need a robot you can order right now, check the 1X NEO, which has open pre-orders, or models in the humanoid robots category marked in our service as available. Nor is it a model for Polish companies looking for a deployment: there is no distribution in Poland.

Deployments

The home variant has no deployments whatsoever; it is tested only in its partners' industrial environments. In Poland there are no confirmed Figure deployments at all. Worldwide, the best documented is the predecessor: the Figure 02 supported production of more than 30,000 vehicles at the BMW plant in Spartanburg (May 2025). What is happening in this category in production plants is described in “Humanoid Robots in Factories 2026”; a full assessment of the Figure 03 is in “Figure 03: What We Know About Figure AI's Third-Generation Robot”.

If you want to see what you can buy or order today, look at the models below.

1X NEO: conceptually the closest home robot with open pre-orders; in our catalog it appears at a price of about PLN 77,524 (≈ EUR 17,760 at NBP rate 4.3641 of 21 October 2026), so you can compare promises against a real offer. More in “1X Neo Home Robot on Pre-Order”.

Figure 03: the base version of the same humanoid, described in detail; the company reported that more than 350 units have been delivered and that production reached a pace of one robot per hour.

Tesla Optimus Gen 3: a competitor with similar home-use claims, still at the concept stage; a good reference point for judging who says more and who shows more.

Unitree G1: a humanoid that is actually sold, for about PLN 52,300 (≈ EUR 11,980), letting you test walking and manipulation today, though without any home-help ambitions.

Figure AI was founded in 2022 in Sunnyvale. In March 2023 the company showed its first general-purpose humanoid, the Figure 01, and in May it raised USD 70 million in seed funding. In January 2024 it announced a partnership with BMW, and in February a USD 675 million round with participation from Bezos, Microsoft, Nvidia, Intel, Amazon and OpenAI, at a valuation of USD 2.6 billion. In August 2024 came the Figure 02 with hands of near-human grip strength and a VLA model. In September 2025 the company closed a Series C round of over USD 1 billion at a valuation of USD 39 billion, and in October it showed the third generation, the Figure 03, and its home variant. In April 2026 the company reported delivering more than 350 units of the Figure 03. The manufacturer's history is on the Figure AI page.
