Figure 03 vs Unitree H2: Comparing High-End AI and Accessible Hardware in 2026

Figure 03 shows stronger autonomous-task evidence while Unitree H2 offers cheaper, more accessible hardware — neither proves shift-ready, cost-predictable deployment yet.

  • Figure leads on autonomy evidence: Figure 03 completed a 4-minute, 61-action dishwasher task with no reset and no human intervention (January 2026 demo).
  • Helix 2.5 generalization data: In 30 unseen Bay Area homes, Figure's pretrained policy hit a 56% full-task completion rate vs 9% for a from-scratch policy.
