Figure 03 just finished an 8-hour work livestream, imperfect, but already good enough to replace a lot of repetitive warehouse labor. 🤖 Brett Adcock put a team of F.03 robots on a factory-style package sorting task for a full shift. The job was simple and brutal: detect the barcode, pick the package, flip it label-side down, place it on the conveyor, repeat. Soft poly bags, rigid boxes, moving belts, messy orientations. That is exactly the kind of boring physical work factories pay humans to do all day. Early in the stream, the system handled 230 packages in 10 minutes. That is roughly 2.6 seconds per item — already in human-speed territory for this narrow workflow. The more important part: it was not one robot pretending to work all day. It was a team of Figure 03 robots keeping the line running. When one robot ran low on battery, it left the station and another robot stepped in. That is the real factory signal: not just autonomy, but shift continuity. F.03 is rated for about 5 hours of runtime, so the 8-hour result depends on fleet orchestration, charging, and handoff. That matters more than a single clean demo. The stream was not perfect. There were pauses, hesitations, missed orientations, and small recovery moments. Good. A perfect short clip hides failure. An 8-hour livestream exposes the parts that actually matter: endurance, recovery, throughput, and whether the robot can stay useful after the novelty wears off. Figure says this was fully autonomous on Helix-02, with zero human intervention. For logistics and manufacturing, that is the threshold worth watching. Not “can it do one impressive task?” Can it keep doing the boring task for an entire shift? Figure is not showing a general human replacement yet. But for structured, repetitive factory work, the gap just got much smaller. The timing is also interesting: Figure says BotQ has already delivered 350+ F.03 units and reached a 1 robot/hour production cadence. And F.04 is now in full design lock, with parts starting to ship. The next test is obvious. 8 hours was the proof of endurance. 24/7 is the proof of labor economics.

Figure 03, powered by Helix AI, can now jog with a smooth, human-like running style at speeds of about 2 meters per second. Shared by Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock earlier this year, the robot learned to run through reinforcement learning instead of relying on pre-programmed movements. It continuously adjusts its balance and footsteps in real time, marking another step toward more natural humanoid locomotion.

🚨🇺🇸FIGURE ROBOT LEARNS TO WALK IN HOURS Turns out you can teach a robot to walk—if you’ve got a few years to burn in a physics simulator (or a few hours of GPU time). Figure’s team trained a neural network using reinforcement learning to mimic natural human locomotion, and the wild part is it worked on the first try with real hardware. No tuning. No fiddling. Just plug and strut. Thanks to sim-to-real transfer and some sneaky domain randomization, the robot didn’t just wobble out of the lab—it walked like it had somewhere to be. Next up: running. Not terrifying at all. Source: Figure

A humanoid robot capable of crushing skulls? Figure AI sued by former executive. Robert Gruendel, former chief product safety engineer at Figure AI, has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that he was retaliatoryly fired after reporting robot safety risks to Figure AI executives. The lawsuit claims that the engineer warned the company that its humanoid robots possessed a dangerous capability "capable of crushing a human skull." The report cites a specific incident where a robot malfunctioned and scratched a steel refrigerator door with a mark approximately ¼ inch long. The lawsuit also alleges that the company used its safety roadmap as a factor in attracting investment during fundraising and valuation, but subsequently "weakened" its implementation. Figure AI's valuation surged by approximately $39 billion between 2024 and 2025, and this lawsuit comes at a time of rapid expansion and high public attention.

Demonstrating our latest localization system in action. At bootup, the robot has no prior position estimate, but within seconds it autonomously localizes itself using a fusion of three algorithms. Unlike our previous version, this updated system incorporates vision, allowing the robot to adapt to real-world changes (e.g., moved furniture) by recognizing previously seen environments. In this demo, we repeatedly reset navigation and reposition the robot to random locations, showing robust, repeatable localization. The robot then executes a full patrol, following a planned path (visualized in RViz) with real-time path tracking. Because our software is hardware-agnostic, it brings the same reliable performance to any robot it runs on.

Robots from Humanoid passed real factory test at Siemens! 😮‍💨 Humanoid from the UK just completed a successful proof of concept with Siemens, deploying their HMND 01 wheeled humanoid robot in a real working factory. The task was simple but important: pick totes from a storage stack, transport them to a conveyor, and place them at the pickup point for human operators. Repeat until the stack is empty. The robot achieved 60 tote moves per hour, handled two different tote sizes, ran autonomously for more than 30 minutes at a time, stayed operational for over eight hours, and maintained over 90% success rate on pick and place tasks. This matters because it's not a demo video. It's a real deployment in Siemens' Electronics Factory in Erlangen, handling actual production work, measured against real operational metrics. The test ran in two phases. First, Humanoid built a physical twin in-house to test and optimize the system. Then they deployed on-site at Siemens for two weeks, where the robot operated in the real production environment. We can see a wheeled humanoid robot in action! So, now the ultimate question: wheels or legs? 👀 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

I toured the only factory in America building humanoid robots from scratch. Last month, I got an exclusive first look at the facility making NEO— the humanoid robot launching into consumer homes later this year. It is the most vertically integrated humanoid robot factory in America. Every critical component is done in-house. CEO Bernt Børnich walked us through the full story: from building soapbox cars with his dad at age 11 to leading the only end-to-end humanoid robot factory in the United States. VP of Operations Vikram Kothari then took us inside the entire build process, where every motor, limb, circuit, and sensor comes together under one roof on a rapid four-week cycle from CAD to finished robot.

A robot just worked an 8-hour shift in China. Then it handled an error no human flagged, adapting to a conveyor that shifted under it and correcting the position deviation on its own before carrying on. This is AgiBot's G2 at Longcheer in Nanchang, where the fleet has now run 10 hours straight and sorted more than 3,000 units at a 100% success rate, talking to the factory's own software in real time and flagging defective parts by itself. We built every factory on earth around human limits: the eight-hour shift, the breaks, the way attention slips after hour six. AgiBot is making those limits optional, and the setting is the whole point. This is a live production line shipping real product next to human workers, not a staged demo. Figure ran a similar stream in California last month, so the milestone itself isn't unique. What's different here is that nothing is for the camera. A functioning factory, live, no cuts. I got back from China this month, and the pace of this one ecosystem is the thing the US is underrating most. The Terminator version of this was loud and apocalyptic. The real one just shows up to work, and gets a little better every shift.

A humanoid robot just unloaded a dishwasher for 67 hours straight. By end of 2026, the same robot will perform surgery. That's not a prediction from a sci-fi writer. That's Brett Adcock. CEO of Figure AI. Said it on camera this month. Here's what makes this insane. Two years ago Figure's robot put a Keurig cup in a coffee maker. That was the breakthrough moment. The whole team celebrated. A coffee cup. Today that same robot runs 67 consecutive hours in a BMW factory. Grabbing packages. Finding barcodes. Placing them. One operation every second. Just a neural network that learned by watching. And Brett just said the hands that do that the same fingers, the same sensors, the same neural net are already capable of surgical precision from a hardware standpoint. "From a hardware perspective in 2026 we'll be able to do what surgeons can do." The AI just has to catch up to the hands. Two years ago: a coffee cup. This year: a factory. Next: the operating table. The robot didn't change, the learning did and it's not stopping.

EXCLUSIVE interview with one of the smartest and earliest investor in robotics! Andrew Kang, CEO of RoboStrategy, says one of the smartest thing Elon Musk ever did was deciding for Tesla to enter the humanoid robot market in 2021. He entered exactly at the right time, when AI and hardware were finally ready. Andrew was one of the earliest major backers of the humanoid robot movement with a $19 million investment in Figure AI before it 15x. Tesla will no doubt be a massive winner. But markets this large will create many winners. He and Scott Walter share who will make the cut. Andrew Kang Humanoid Scott

🚨 Two really important Figure robotics updates. - 1st, they will be announcing two new commercial customers in the next 60 days. This means Figure will probably be the first humanoid robotics company in the United States after Digit (Agility Robotics) to hit true commercial deployment. It puts them in an extremely elite group alongside the very few other humanoid companies actually gaining real-world commercial revenue right now, like Apptronik. That's really exciting. Second, Brett Adcock confirmed they are now making a robot every 90 minutes. Let's do the math on that production line: • At one robot every 90 minutes, they are building 16 robots per day. • That translates to roughly 480 robots per month. • Which equals over 5,840 robots per year! That means Figure by the end of 2026 should have nearly 6,000 humanoids produced and ready to enter the workforce. They might be Tesla this year we will have to see 👀

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.

Figure AI CEO on "Firing" OpenAI: "We just got like no value out of the whole relationship." Figure founder Brett Adcock brought a Figure 03 to Shawn Ryan's podcast, where he went into detail about the startup's early relationship with OpenAI that dissolved a year after it started. Adcock, who previously founded Archer Aviation, said the arrangement was useful for fundraising at first but not much else. "We just found that the team we had internally. We just ran like kind of circles around them like every day," he said. The breaking point came when he learned that OpenAI planned to restart its robotics program. That meant Figure's engineers would essentially be teaching a competitor. “We’re like teaching you how to do robot learning… you’re seeing our progress," he said. "There’s no way we’re going to teach you how to do this stuff anymore.” It was Adcock's first appearance for a podcaster who's not a Figure AI investor since the split. It was recorded around the time First Lady Melania Trump welcomed the $39 billion startup's third-generation robot, the Figure 03, at the White House for a summit on technology and education. Figure AI has developed its own vision-language-action model called Helix.

It was recorded around the time First Lady Melania Trump welcomed the $39 billion startup's third-generation robot, the Figure 03, at the White House for a summit on technology and education. Figure AI has developed its own vision-language-action model called Helix.

JUST IN: Figure has gone from producing 1 humanoid robot per day to 1 per hour, a 24x throughput improvement in under 120 days. This data is from their manufacturing facility BotQ update (link below) Here's what's happening inside BotQ: → Over 350 Figure 03 robots delivered and counting → End-of-line first-pass yield now above 80% and improving weekly → Battery line at 99.3% first-pass yield with 500+ battery packs shipped → Over 9,000 actuators produced across 10+ distinct SKUs → Every robot put through 80+ functional verification tests before sign-off Their Helix AI model can now SEE the environment it's moving through, not just feel it. Stairs, ramps, uneven terrain, navigated zero-shot, trained entirely in simulation, deployed directly to hardware with no real-world fine-tuning. Brett Adcock has been clear about the plan: every robot that rolls off the line is a data-collection engine. The bigger the fleet, the faster the AI improves. The faster the AI improves, the more deployable the robot becomes. This is the flywheel. And it is now spinning. The humanoid robot race just got very serious. VERY INTERESTING.

ELON MUSK: "Optimus will be the biggest product ever, but it is a very complex problem to solve. It's one of the hardest things to solve, to make an autonomous humanoid robot that can do tasks that, if you simply ask it to do something or show it a video, it can do the task without any programming. No one's ever achieved this, and there are many challenges in the design of the robot to achieve sufficient dexterity and to be very reliable and have long wear and tear, meaning it needs to be out in the field and not break down. Otherwise, you've got sort of a 70 kilogram robot that just flopped over and you've got to carry it out like a body, you know, it doesn't have wheels. And we don't want Optimus to go haywire. So it's a lot of work to scale, to get the design right and to scale production. This is going to be the hardest product to scale manufacturing that we've ever made at Tesla because everything on the robot is new. And the difficulty of scaling the production ramp is proportionate to the newness of the parts in the robot. With Optimus, there is no supply chain. So we've had to build up a supply chain in its entirety or in-house the production. The Optimus production line that we're building out in Fremont in place of what used to be the Model S & X production, it looks incredible. It's quite stunning to see."

NEWS: Figure has unveiling its 3rd generation humanoid robot. • Features a completely redesigned sensory suite and hand system. Wireless charging in feet. • Next-generation vision system engineered for high-frequency visuomotor control. Its new camera architecture delivers twice the frame rate, one-quarter the latency, and a 60% wider field of view per camera within a more compact form factor • Soft goods, wireless charging, improved audio system for voice reasoning, and battery safety advancements • "Engineered from the ground-up for high-volume manufacturing. In order to scale, we established a new supply chain and entirely new process for manufacturing humanoid robots at BotQ." • Lower manufacturing cost • Softer, more adaptive fingertips increase surface contact area, enabling more stable grasps across objects of varied shapes and sizes. Each fingertip sensor can detect forces as small as three grams of pressure - sensitive enough to register the weight of a paperclip resting on your finger. • Multi-density foam to protect against pinch points, and is covered in soft textiles rather than hard machined parts. 9% less mass and less volume than Figure 02 • 10 Gbps mmWave data offload capability, allowing the entire fleet to upload terabytes of data • Upgraded audio hardware system for better real time speech-to-speech. Its speaker is twice the size and nearly four times more powerful, while the microphone has been repositioned for improved performance and clarity. • Charging coils in the robot’s feet allow it to simply step onto a wireless stand and charge at 2 kW Figure: "BotQ is Figure’s dedicated manufacturing facility designed to scale robot production. BotQ’s first-generation manufacturing line will initially be capable of producing up to 12,000 humanoid robots per year, with the goal of producing a total of 100,000 robots over the next four years. Instead of relying on contract manufacturers, Figure brought production of its most critical systems in-house to maintain tight control over quality, iteration, and speed."

Figure announces Project Go-Big: Internet-Scale Humanoid Pretraining and Direct Human-to-Robot Transfer The company has achieved a new milestone for the Helix AI model: after training exclusively on egocentric human data, Figure robots can now navigate real-world spaces from natural language commands such as “Go water the plants.” This also enabled a unified Helix model that can output both manipulation and navigation commands to the continuous control system. This ties into the Brookfield partnership that they announced yesterday. Brookfield is a global asset manager overseeing $1 trillion in assets, including 100,000 residential units, 500M square feet of commercial office space, and 160M square feet of logistics space. Using human video capture in a variety of Brookfield environments, Figure will amass critical pretraining data at scale, allowing them to explore the full potential of internet-scale embodied datasets for locomotion and manipulation.
