The rule, not an opinion
Stages are worked out by published rules from the dated milestones above. We never rate robots, and no maker can pay to change a stage.
- 5
Regulator-cleared or mass market
A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.
- 4
Paying customers
Delivered to customers who pay for it, beyond a trial, or a paid service the public can use.
- 3
PilotThis robot
Working with a named customer in a real setting, as a trial.
Placed by: BMW started a Figure 03 project at Spartanburg, where the robot picks and sorts parts for the assembly line (30 June 2026); BMW confirmed that the earlier model, Figure 02, helped build more than 30,000 BMW X3 cars over 10 months at its Spartanburg plant, placing sheet-metal parts for welding (Nov 2025).
- 2
Pre-orders
Orders, reservations or deposits taken, with nothing delivered yet.
- 1
Demo only
Shown in videos, staged events or a factory, with no units working for customers.
What we couldn't confirm. Figure markets Figure 03 for homes but lists no price or order page, and has not said any home customer has one. Robot counts at BMW and Catalyst Brands are not disclosed. Figure says the BMW stint lasted 11 months; BMW says 10.
