| OUR TAKE | The first full-size humanoid built to be looked at rather than put to work. Fabric-wrapped, 27 degrees of freedom, and a motion stack that does runway walks and full splits. It will not do a single chore. | Arguably the most capable hands in the business - processing hundreds of thousands of packages. Consumers can't buy it. Yet. |

Detailed comparison: Luna vs Figure 03
Luna scores 7/10 in our independent evaluation; Figure 03 scores 8.7/10. That 1.6999999999999993-point gap is real but not decisive — Luna may still be the right fit depending on your use case.
Luna is best for: Malls, theme parks, trade shows and brand activations that need a crowd to stop walking. Figure 03 is best for: Businesses - and consumers watching where home capability will come from next.
Our scoring weighs five factors: autonomous capability, independent verification (third-party evidence scores higher than manufacturer claims), commercial deployment scale, price-to-capability ratio, and real-world availability today. Neither robot here is scored on marketing alone. Luna and Figure 03 are both worth evaluating — the right call depends on which robot's documented strengths match your actual workflow.
