Figure 03 – The $39 Billion Humanoid Robot Built to Work in Your Home!
Right — let’s talk robots. Figure AI, the San Jose startup making waves in humanoid design, just unveiled their latest creation — Figure 03. It’s smarter, lighter, and built not just for factories, but for your home. Yep, we’re officially one step closer to a real-life helper that can tidy up after you — or at least try.
Figure AI’s been on a sprint. Their first bot, Figure 01, walked in 2023. Figure 02 shipped to paying customers in 2024. Now, Figure 03 marks a complete overhaul in both hardware and software — all with one goal: make humanoids practical and affordable at scale.
The company just raised over $1 billion in Series C funding, valuing them at $39 billion — and they plan to ship 100,000 units over the next four years. Not bad for a company barely out of its prototype phase.
So what makes Figure 03 special? For starters, it’s built for AI reasoning using the company’s Helix model. The robot’s vision system now has double the frame rate, 60 percent wider field of view, and quarter-second latency — meaning it sees and reacts much faster than before.
Each hand has a built-in palm camera, giving the robot ‘eyes’ even when reaching into a cupboard or working in tight spots. Its fingertips are softer, more adaptive, and sensitive enough to detect just three grams of pressure — that’s basically the weight of a paperclip.
It’s also 9 percent lighter and more compact than its predecessor, wrapped in soft textiles for safety, and can wirelessly charge simply by stepping on a 2 kW charging mat.
