Frequently asked questions
How do Figure 03 and Reachy 2 compare on price?
Figure 03: ~$20,000 (consumer target) · 240 units/month (Apr 2026). Reachy 2: ~$70,000–$100,000.
Which has higher payload: Figure 03 or Reachy 2?
Figure 03 rates a higher payload at 20 kg vs 3 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 Reachy 2 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 Reachy 2?
Figure 03 has no ROS support; Reachy 2 has ros2. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does Figure 03 or Reachy 2 use LiDAR?
Reachy 2 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; Figure 03 does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
