Figure 02
Figure 02 is Figure AI's second-generation humanoid robot unveiled in August 2024, standing 168 cm and weighing 70 kg with 35 degrees of freedom and 25 kg payload. It features six RGB cameras, dual onboard GPUs for 3x the compute of its predecessor, and was deployed at BMW for automotive sheet-metal handling. Figure 02 pioneered sustained humanoid factory work but has since been superseded by Figure 03.

Xiaomi Engineers Robotic Hand From 1,827 Factory SOPs: China Spy Law Travels With It
Xiaomi developed a 324-gram, 21-DoF bionic hand with 26 motors, roughly 1,500 tactile points, and forearm-mounted tendon actuation, grounding its design in 1,827 automotive-factory SOPs rather than generic dexterity benchmarks. Xiaomi's analysis reported substantially better stable-grasp performance than simpler 6-to-15-DoF manipulators, but the hand remains undeployed and lacks public pricing, availability, independent reliability testing, and a security audit. The article also warns that Chinese intelligence and data-security laws, along with U.S. restrictions on foreign robotic devices, could prevent Western automotive manufacturers from adopting it.
Unitree unveils H2-X security robot that fights like a kung fu master
Unitree unveiled the H2-X, a security-focused variant of its H2 humanoid it calls the 'Kung Fu Legend Guardian,' capable of kicking open car doors, lifting vehicles, and landing backflips from four meters. The robot stands 180 cm tall, weighs 70 kg with 31 degrees of freedom, and runs for about 8 hours per charge—nearly triple the base H2's runtime. The launch builds on Unitree's Spring Festival Gala martial arts showcase and cements its lead position, having shipped 5,500+ humanoids in 2025 (~39% global share) and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in August at roughly a $9 billion valuation.
Humanoid robot covers 348 miles in a grueling 9-day treadmill test
Figure AI's Figure 03 humanoid robot completed a grueling 9-day treadmill endurance test, covering 348 miles and logging 1.2 million steps. The test, started as a side project by CEO Brett Adcock, is designed to stress the robot and expose potential hardware failures. The third-generation platform features upgraded cameras, tactile sensors in the hands, and wireless inductive charging, positioning it for extended operational deployments in industrial settings.
