Social RoboticsFigure 03 humanoid redesigned with the home in mind
Figure's third-generation robot adds soft washable coverings, better audio and wireless charging.
Figure introduced Figure 03, built around its Helix AI model and designed for domestic settings as well as mass production. Changes include soft textile coverings and foam at pinch points, removable washable parts, lower mass than its predecessor and a louder speaker with a repositioned microphone for conversation. Its feet contain coils for 2 kW wireless charging, and its fingertips can sense forces as small as three grams. The design choices show how humanoid makers are starting to prioritise safety, touch and voice interaction for life alongside people.
