SAEDNEWS: Figure AI Unveils Next-Generation Humanoid Robot ‘Figure 03’ Designed to Assist Humans with Household Tasks
According to the technology service of SaedNews, California-based Figure AI has introduced Figure 03 as “an all-purpose humanoid robot for daily use.” In the unveiling video, Figure 03 is shown performing tasks such as watering plants, serving food, folding clothes, and tidying up a room.

Equipped with a proprietary AI system called Helix, developed by Figure, the robot can perceive its surroundings and execute complex movements in real time without prior programming. The company previously relied on OpenAI models but has now developed its own technology.
In one demonstration, the robot picks up a cup and a dish from the living room, carries them to the kitchen, washes them with water, and places them in the dishwasher. Standing approximately 170 centimeters tall, Figure 03 can wirelessly recharge through its legs and operate for up to five hours on a single charge.
CEO Brett Adcock emphasized that “no part of this video is remotely controlled” and that the robot functions fully autonomously.
Figure 03 is also designed for commercial applications. In the company’s video, it is shown acting as a delivery courier, factory line worker, and even a restaurant waiter.
To enhance performance, each of Figure 03’s hands is equipped with a camera embedded in the palm, providing precise visual feedback when gripping or touching objects. According to the company’s blog, these cameras help Helix maintain environmental awareness and adjust movements in real time, even when the main cameras are blocked.
Unlike its predecessor, Figure 02, which was designed for industrial environments, Figure 03 must operate in a far more complex space like a home, filled with obstacles and moving objects.
The price and release date of the robot have not been announced. However, the company stated that the production cost of Figure 03 will be lower than previous models. Adcock told Time magazine:
“We want the robot to be able to handle almost all household chores autonomously throughout the day… We haven’t reached that point yet, but we believe we can achieve it by 2026.”
For now, the robot will be made available for testing with select partners.
