Questions
Spot vs Figure 03 FAQs
Which is better, Spot or Figure 03?+
There is no defensible overall robot winner without a target task and environment. Compare form factor, availability, payload, runtime, speed, sensing, control, safety, and price; green highlights apply only to specifications with an explicit direction.
Which can carry more, Spot or Figure 03?+
Figure 03 leads this specification: Spot is 14 kg and Figure 03 is 20 kg.
Which runs longer, Spot or Figure 03?+
Figure 03 leads this specification: Spot is 1.5 hours and Figure 03 is 5 hours.
Which is faster, Spot or Figure 03?+
Spot leads this specification: Spot is 1.6 m/s and Figure 03 is 1.2 m/s.
Which costs less, Spot or Figure 03?+
A normalized price comparison is unavailable. Spot: Contact sales. Figure 03: Not publicly listed.
Can I buy Spot or Figure 03 today?+
Spot is recorded as commercially available (Boston Dynamics offers Spot through a sales inquiry and partner ecosystem.); Figure 03 is select customers (Figure describes production and company deployments; no public purchase price is cited.). Availability can be regional or customer-specific.
What are Spot and Figure 03 designed to do?+
Spot: Industrial inspection and remote sensing. Figure 03: General-purpose home and commercial work.
What sensors do Spot and Figure 03 use?+
Spot: five stereo camera pairs, 360-degree perception, optional inspection payloads. Figure 03: head cameras, palm cameras, fingertip tactile sensors, audio system.
What software and control options do Spot and Figure 03 support?+
Spot: Spot Autonomy, Scout, Orbit. Figure 03: Helix, 10 Gbps mmWave data offload. Spot: autonomous missions, remote tablet control. Figure 03: autonomous.
Are Spot and Figure 03 the same type of robot?+
No. Spot is a quadruped platform; Figure 03 is a humanoid platform. Direct specification comparisons may therefore reflect different jobs.
