Figure's second-generation humanoid. Announced on August 6, 2024 via Figure's PRNewswire release, Figure 02 ships with a torso-integrated lithium-ion battery, redesigned fourth-generation hands, integrated cabling, six onboard RGB cameras, and onboard microphones plus speakers for voice interaction. See The Robot Report's launch coverage for the hardware walkthrough.
What makes Figure 02 interesting for an AI-hardware reader is the AI stack lineage: Figure announced a partnership with OpenAI in February 2024, and Figure 02 was the first platform to ship that integration in pilot. The robot performed AI data collection and use case training at BMW Manufacturing's Spartanburg, SC plant — sheet metal insertion into chassis fixtures — making it one of the earliest humanoid deployments inside a major automotive line.
Figure has not published a formal spec sheet. The exact onboard compute hardware (GPU model, SoC family) is not publicly disclosed beyond the qualitative claim that Figure 02 ships triple the onboard AI inference of Figure 01. Price is not public; Figure positions the platform as enterprise-pilot, not direct-to-buyer. Height, weight, payload, and runtime figures above are taken from aggregator databases that cite Figure's own marketing materials — Figure's product pages have moved since launch and the canonical URLs no longer resolve.
