Figure AI locks Figure 04 design for mass production, while Figure 03 proves long autonomous warehouse runs and home collaboration, advancing its industry-first, home-next commercialization roadmap.

Key Highlights

Design Locked: Figure 04 enters assembly and testing toward mass production.
Cost Pivot: Shift from CNC to die-cast and injection molding lowers unit cost.
Industrial Proof: Figure 03 runs autonomously in warehousing at human-like pace.
Home Collaboration: Helix-02 enables dual-robot bed-making and soft-object handling.
Three-Stage Path: Industry first, home next, mass production as the moat.
