Close call. Figure 02 and Reachy 2 trade wins across the matrix.
Readiness, uptime, navigation & connectivity
Price accessibility and ROI clarity
Payload, speed, runtime & labor replacement
Environment fit, footprint & long-term upside
Sheet-metal loading in automotive assembly — 2-second cycle precision on BMW X3 production line, 90,000+ parts handled in 11-month pilot
Embodied AI training with demonstration learning and real-time teleoperation data capture for manipulation models
Both are credible picks. Decide on cost and supplier proximity, not capability — the gap is small.
