What is the difference between Figure 03 and Phoenix?

Figure 03 and Phoenix are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. They differ in maker, maturity, price, verified deployments, and how much of their autonomy is independently verified. See the table above for the full head-to-head; each figure is sourced.

Is Figure 03 or Phoenix more autonomous?

On the DEPLOY registry, neither Figure 03 nor Phoenix has capabilities independently verified as fully autonomous yet; their recorded capabilities are teleoperated-assisted, demonstrated, or vendor-claimed. See the table for each capability's verification status.

Which has more verified deployments, Figure 03 or Phoenix?

Figure 03 has more verified deployments (2) on the DEPLOY registry than Phoenix (1). DEPLOY counts a deployment only when confirmed at a named site with a primary source.

Editorial summaries

Figure 03

Figure 03 is the current-generation Figure humanoid, positioned by Figure for both home and commercial-integration use cases; the verified deployment record is currently single-operator at Catalyst Brands' Reno distribution facility, with no shipped home units on record. The BMW Spartanburg pilot, frequently cited as Figure's enterprise proof point, was Figure 02. That deployment concluded in November 2025 and does not transfer to Figure 03's verification record. Figure describes the platform as fully autonomous in the demonstrated tasks, a framing that DEPLOY tracks as a claim rather than an audit until third-party reproduction lands.

Phoenix

Phoenix is an emerging-stage research humanoid from Sanctuary AI, the Canadian company (Geordie Rose, Suzanne Gildert) pursuing a cognitive-architecture approach distinct from foundation-model peers. There is no consumer product, price, or availability on record; the editorial position is honest-absence.
