When to pick which
Choose the Figure AI Figure 02 for heavy-duty industrial environments like automotive assembly lines or large-scale distribution centers. If your facility requires a robot to handle substantial components, its 20kg payload capacity is the decisive factor for material handling tasks. The $150,000 price point reflects a machine built for rigorous commercial duty cycles, specifically optimized for BMW-style manufacturing workflows. Use this model when deploying at scale in environments where enterprise-grade REST and Python SDK integration is mandatory for syncing with existing warehouse management systems.

Opt for the Tesla Optimus Gen 2 when budget efficiency and fleet scale are the primary drivers for your automation strategy. At a $30,000 price point, it is ideal for light logistics or facility maintenance where you need to deploy multiple units to cover large areas. The 8-hour runtime ensures full-shift operation with minimal charging downtime, while the 2.5m/s movement speed allows for rapid traversal of expansive factory floors. It is the superior choice for general-purpose tasks and home assistance pilots where high payload is less critical than dexterity and cost-per-unit.
