AI, Data & Privacy
Mixed - some data on-device, some in cloud
This robot uses a hybrid approach where some data is processed locally on the device and some is sent to cloud servers. The level of EU data protection depends on what data stays local versus what is transmitted. Sensitive data like camera feeds may be processed on-device while usage analytics go to the cloud. Review the manufacturer's privacy policy for specifics on what data goes where.
How to keep it private
On-device inference runs on a custom AI accelerator, but the robot supports wireless data offload during dock charging. Figure plans to use home deployment data to train future models. Eight cameras and microphones continuously map environments. Full offline capability has not been confirmed.
Available privacy controls
Figure states it intends to detect, blur, and replace personal information in home data before using it for AI training, similar to Google Street View face blurring
Figure 03 is designed for home deployment but has limited confirmed privacy controls. The company states it will scrub personal data before training, but opt-out details are unclear. If privacy is a top concern, wait for Figure AI to publish concrete privacy policies before deploying in a home environment. Ask about data sharing opt-out before purchase.
What this means for EU residents
On-device inference via custom AI accelerator. Figure ended its OpenAI partnership in February 2025, developing all AI in-house. Six cameras and microphones continuously map environments, raising privacy concerns for home deployments.
What the AI can do 7 capabilities
Security features 1 features
- iso-10218-compliant
Configurability details None
Closed proprietary system. No public SDK or API. All AI development handled internally by Figure AI. System designed for autonomous operation without user-level configuration.
