Figure AI Unveils Figure 02 for Commercial Deployment, Targets Indian Logistics Sector - RobotWale News

Figure AI Launches Figure 02 for Commercial Deployment

Figure AI officially unveiled the Figure 02 humanoid robot on October 15, 2024, marking a definitive transition from laboratory prototypes to commercial-grade automation. The new system features a custom-designed silicon chip, 45 degrees of freedom, and an upgraded tactile skin that enables precise force feedback during object manipulation. Powered by a next-generation multimodal AI model trained on millions of real-world manipulation tasks, the Figure 02 demonstrated continuous operation capabilities, completing complex warehouse workflows including inventory sorting, pallet stacking, and fragile item handling with zero human oversight.

Strategic Expansion into the Indian Market

To accelerate global adoption, Figure AI announced strategic partnerships with Tata Advanced Systems, Blue Dart Express, and Mahindra Manutec. These collaborations will facilitate pilot deployments in automated fulfillment centers across Pune and Chennai by early 2025. Indian logistics operators will receive localized software integration, regional compliance adjustments for Indian industrial standards, and dedicated maintenance hubs to ensure seamless interoperability with existing warehouse management ecosystems. The pilot phase will also include data localization compliance under India’s DPDP Act, ensuring all operational telemetry remains within domestic cloud infrastructure.

Pricing and Availability in India

Enterprise pricing for the Indian market has been set at $100,000 per unit for the base Figure 02 configuration. Fleet management suites, extended warranty packages, and on-site technical training will be distributed through authorized Indian partners, including Wipro and Infosys. A public demonstration event is scheduled for Bengaluru next month, where Indian manufacturers and logistics executives can evaluate live performance metrics. Local manufacturing discussions are underway with Tamil Nadu and Karnataka industrial authorities to establish final assembly units, which could lower landed costs by up to 15 percent within two years. Full commercial availability across South Asia is targeted for Q3 2025.
