Figure 02

Canonical robot record

Overview

Figure 02 is the second-generation humanoid robot from Figure, an AI robotics company building general-purpose humanoids. With Figure 02, the company streamlined the design of its first-generation platform, advancing hand dexterity, integrating the battery into the torso, and creating a more compact, refined build intended for real-world deployment rather than the lab.

The robot's first commercial use case was with BMW, performing sheet-metal loading on an automotive assembly line. This is a classic pick-and-place task in which parts are picked from racks or bins and placed onto a welding fixture. Figure 02 was primarily designed to be manufactured using CNC machining processes, and its real-world operation generated data that informed the build procedures, component architecture, and mechanical design of its successor.

Following the release of Figure 03, Figure has officially begun retiring Figure 02, returning units from the BMW site as part of a fleet-wide retirement. Figure 03 is described by the company as having less mass and volume than Figure 02, reflecting the lessons learned from operating the earlier platform.
