ZeroGantry verdict: 4 out of 5
Figure 02 is the most commercially mature humanoid in production today. The BMW Spartanburg deployment isn't a demo — it's 30,000+ vehicles processed with real runtime data. The speech interface is genuinely useful for non-programmers on the floor, though the latency needs to drop below 100ms for fast-paced work cells. The closed ecosystem is the main risk: if Figure falters as a company, your $150k robot becomes a very expensive paperweight. For automotive logistics, it's the current benchmark.
What sets Figure 02 Humanoid apart
