Editorial summaries

Ameca

Ameca, from UK-based Engineered Arts, is the famous expressive humanoid: 61 actuated movements (27 DoF head/face plus 34 DoF upper body), 50+ facial expressions, and conversational AI via the Tritium software with LLM and speech integration (Generation 3 shown at ICRA 2025). It is a stationary communication and showpiece robot, not a mobile general-purpose worker. It is commercially offered for purchase and rental at about $250,000. The expressiveness and conversation are real; what it is not is a walking, working humanoid.

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.
