Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Answers : Figure 01
Everything you must know before evaluating or acquiring this platform.
1Is Figure 01 still manufactured by Figure AI?
No, Figure AI transitioned all production and pilot resources to Figure 02, which conceals all cabling internally and delivers double the battery autonomy.
2Why was the OpenAI demonstration with Figure 01 so significant?
It was the first demonstration of a humanoid executing real-time voice conversations, scene understanding, and motor actions end-to-end without perceptible latency.
3What was the battery capacity of Figure 01?
Figure 01 featured a 1.2 kWh battery pack providing around 2 hours of runtime, compared to 2.25 kWh and 5 hours on Figure 02.
4What was the weight of Figure 01?
The metallic chassis weighed 60 kg with a height of 1.70 m, dimensions preserved in Figure 02.
