Figure's CEO told Sourcery's Molly O'Shea that the humanoid robotics company is preparing for a "near-term" push to bring humanoid robots into homes, where they would perform basic household tasks under a consumer subscription model that could cost "hundreds per month," similar to a car lease.
Molly O'Shea asked Figure CEO Brett Adcock:
"In the near term, what do you see as the first commercial application for these robots? Like, is it gonna be in the home? Is it gonna be in the factory?"
"In the near term, we're gonna be selling these into the home. So you can lease a Figure 03 for something like $600 a month."
"Yeah. You can plug it into a wall outlet, and it'll go to its dock and charge. I want it to do the laundry every day, dishes every day, and tidy the house multiple times a day. That's what I want."

Adcock posted a chart onThreadsshowing, he said, "Humanoid robots manufactured at Figure by month," revealing a clear production ramp.
However, the chart lacked a Y-axis, leaving the actual shipment numbers unclear.
Forbes pointed out that shipments may have climbed from roughly 60 units in February to 120 in March and 240 in April. However, those shipment numbers remain far below China's Agibot, which reportedly shipped 5,000 humanoids over three months.
