Frequently asked questions
How do Figure 03 and TALOS compare on price?
Figure 03: ~$20,000 (consumer target) · 240 units/month (Apr 2026). TALOS: $970,000. Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Which has higher payload: Figure 03 or TALOS?
Figure 03 rates a higher payload at 20 kg vs 6 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Are both Figure 03 and TALOS shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Which is better for ROS-based development: Figure 03 or TALOS?
Figure 03 has no ROS support; TALOS has ROS 1 only. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
