Overview
Figure 01 was unveiled in 2023 and walked that October. Figure 02 (Aug 2024) added a sleeker exoskeleton, integrated wiring, better hands and more compute. F.02 units ran an 11-month sheet-metal loading deployment at BMW Spartanburg that contributed to more than 30,000 X3 vehicles, and demoed the Helix VLA model in 2025. Figure began retiring the F.02 fleet in November 2025 in favor of Figure 03, and in September 2026 released a farewell film with Arnold Schwarzenegger showing retired units lowered into a foundry furnace in Finland.
