Figure 03 adds wireless-charging feet

Figure AI’s latest humanoid now uses coils in its feet to charge inductively at 2 kW by stepping onto a wireless dock. It’s a small hardware detail, but it matters because autonomous recharging is what turns a robot demo into something that can stay deployed.

// ANALYSIS

This is not the sexiest Figure 03 feature, but it may be one of the most important. Power handling is a deployment problem, and self-docking beats manual battery swaps if Figure wants humanoids to operate continuously in homes and fleets.

–Wireless charging reduces human intervention and keeps uptime higher for long-running robot tasks
–A 2 kW inductive dock suggests Figure is optimizing for operational practicality, not just showroom motion
–Foot-integrated charging fits the broader Figure 03 pitch: safer home design, more autonomy, and less prototype awkwardness
–The real question is efficiency and reliability at scale, since alignment, heat, and charging losses can become bottlenecks
–This is a robotics systems story more than an AI model story, but it still signals where embodied AI is heading
