Figure AI, a 🇺🇸US humanoid robot startup, has ignited debate over robot commercialisation on industrial sites by livestreaming on YouTube a humanoid robot deployed at a logistics warehouse sorting packages non-stop for more than 81 hours, while it processed more than 100,000 packages. “Jim” visually recognizes boxes, identifies the orientation of labels, and moves them to designated locations—making all judgments using only its internal computer. It works autonomously without remote control. Expert opinions are divided. One expert described the demonstration as "closer to a science project than a fully commercial service." She cited accuracy as the biggest challenge, noting that scenes throughout the video showed the robot failing to place parcels in precise locations. Some point out that in actual logistics environments, precision matters more than speed, and areas such as handling exceptions or communication between workers remain difficult for robots at this stage. While the robot's sustainability in simple, repetitive tasks has been confirmed, additional verification remains before broad commercialization, observers said. When commercialised, Figure AI robots are expected to cost from $30,000 per unit.
