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.

Galaxea R1

Galaxea Dynamics sells the R1 humanoid directly through its own website, with the R1 Pro listed at $69,999 and the R1 Lite at $39,999. The product page states units are in stock and ship within 15 days. Price and availability are verified from the maker's own product page.
