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.
Walker S2
The Walker S2 is UBTech's enterprise humanoid, with verified factory pilots at BYD, FAW-Volkswagen, Foxconn, Geely, NIO, and Zeekr in China. UBTech is publicly traded on the Hong Kong exchange. The Walker S2 is not sold to consumers; the editorial position is honest-absence on consumer pricing.
