This is a major milestone for Figure and humanoids in general – doing useful work at a real production line for extended periods. Figure recently completed a 20-hour run of back-to-back shifts on the BMW X3 line! They've been running 10-hour shifts for several weeks now.

Until I can see a 1x speed video of the whole movement including pick up, I'm not impressed. The last Figure vid of this showed the bots picking up an item from a single holder rack. That isn't real world, and that isn't saving any labor.

So hard to impress you :) Sorting and picking parts from a bin seems like the next logical step. I wonder if the sheet metal parts are snugly stacked rather than randomly scattered in a bin, that could be a real challenge for hand dexterity.

What's so special abt these reputable pre-trained tasks?

Long-horizon tasks – using vision-only – learned behaviors for very precise <1 cm sheet metal insertion, and getting the task completion rate high enough for real-world deployment.

the future of labor just clocked in 😮‍💨🤖

Isn’t this the same company that BMW issued a special statement on because they were too slow?

Figure strong 🦾

What I would to see from Figure is the polyvalence of it actions. It is an important limiting factor to create a real general robot.

What was the size of each shift ?(#of 🤖)

I kinda feel sorry for it!
