Figure AI Unveils Figure 02 for Commercial Deployment, Announces Indian Distribution and Pricing - RobotWale News

Figure AI Officially Launches Figure 02 for Commercial Use

Figure AI has officially launched the Figure 02 humanoid robot, marking a significant step toward commercial deployment in industrial environments. The company announced the release on October 15, 2024, at a press event in San Francisco. The Figure 02 features enhanced dexterity, improved battery life, and upgraded AI navigation systems designed specifically for warehouse sorting, inventory management, and logistics automation.

Indian Market Entry and Localized Pricing

For the first time, the company has confirmed a distribution partnership with RoboTech Solutions, a Chennai-based robotics integrator, to bring the Figure 02 to the Indian market. RoboTech Solutions announced that the unit will be priced at ₹45 lakh for domestic buyers, with assembly and final configuration handled at a new facility in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu. This localization strategy aims to reduce import tariffs and accelerate deployment across India’s growing e-commerce and manufacturing sectors.

Technical Specifications and Deployment Timeline

The Figure 02 stands at 175 centimeters tall and weighs 72 kilograms when unloaded. It operates on a custom silicon chip paired with a proprietary language model, enabling real-time decision-making in unstructured environments. The robot can carry loads up to 20 kilograms and operates for up to eight hours on a single charge. Initial deployments in India are scheduled to begin in Q2 2025, targeting fulfillment centers in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The company plans to scale production to 5,000 units annually by the end of 2025.

Industry Impact and Future Roadmap

The launch positions Figure AI as a direct competitor in the global humanoid robotics space, particularly as manufacturers seek automation alternatives to rising labor costs. Indian logistics firms have already expressed interest in pilot programs, with several major players negotiating bulk procurement deals. Figure AI confirmed that subsequent software updates will include regional language support and compliance with India’s new robotics safety guidelines. The company will also host a demonstration event in Bengaluru next month to showcase real-world warehouse applications to potential enterprise clients.
