Figure introduced its third-generation humanoid in October 2025 after redesigning the hardware and software around its Helix vision-language-action system. The aim was a robot that could learn tasks from people and operate in the varied environments where people live and work.
The redesign connected that ambition to practical details: cameras in the palms help maintain visibility during a grasp, softer fingertips and tactile sensors provide feedback, and textiles and foam change how the robot interacts with its surroundings. Figure also redesigned its manufacturing process and supply chain at BotQ to make producing the hardware at larger volumes part of the product plan.
