Description

Figure AI's first physical humanoid robot, publicly unveiled October 2023 as a walking proof-of-concept at the company's Sunnyvale headquarters. Standing approximately 1.68 m and weighing 60 kg with a 20 kg payload capacity, Figure 01 demonstrated basic locomotion and object manipulation, establishing the technical foundation for the company's subsequent commercial robots. Figure 01 did not ship to customers; the BMW Spartanburg manufacturing pilot used Figure 02 (deployed late 2024) and subsequently Figure 03.
