Figure 03 wins on AI and enterprise backing
Figure 03 has BMW and Mercedes deployments plus OpenAI's language model integration giving it a significant edge in natural language task programming. Apollo from Apptronik is a serious contender with NASA-heritage engineering and a more open partnership model, but Figure 03's head start in automotive deployment and deeper AI integration makes it the stronger commercial choice for 2026.
Figure 03 is better for
buyers prioritizing AI-driven task programming and automotive deployment
Apollo is better for
buyers wanting flexible partnerships and NASA-grade reliability engineering
