Figure introduces Figure 03

Story summary

Figure introduced Figure 03, its third-generation humanoid, with hardware and software redesigned from the ground up for its Helix vision-language-action AI, for the home and for high-volume manufacturing. The new camera system offers twice the frame rate, a quarter of the latency and a 60% wider field of view per camera, each hand has a palm camera, and in-house fingertip sensors detect as little as three grams of pressure. For the home it adds soft, washable textiles, 9% less mass than Figure 02, and 2 kW wireless inductive charging through coils in its feet. Figure says the first line at its BotQ facility can initially build up to 12,000 humanoids a year, with a goal of 100,000 robots over the next four years.
