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?

The Humanoid Hub1 year ago

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.

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.

RCMP Shift Change The RCMP handling security for CFIA work 12 hour shifts at Universal Ostrich Farms and swap out at 6:00am and 6:00pm. The officers are actually working 60 an hour shifts because they have a 2-hour commute from their hotels to the farm and 2 hours back.

Lunch break for the RCMP There are two shifts of RCMP officers that are on site here for 12 hours plus they have a commute 2 hours each way making 16-hour shifts. Can you imagine the cost of this operation? The police should be doing police work!

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.

$X Square just beat Figure’s package-sorting pace by ~45%—without a humanoid. In a 1-hour autonomous livestream, two WALL-B-powered 6-axis arms handled 1,816 mixed parcels at 98%+ accuracy. Figure’s 200-hour humanoid run averaged 1,248/hour. That’s 1.98 seconds per parcel vs. 2.88 seconds for Figure. Nearly a full second faster on every package. China processed nearly 199B express parcels in 2025. At that scale, every fraction of a second adds up. Figure is betting on the general-purpose humanoid: one body, eventually many jobs. X Square builds humanoids too, but went pragmatic here—pairing WALL-B with purpose-built arms and grippers for a faster, simpler, more economical logistics system. RobotEra made a similar choice. Its M7 at China Post skips the legs too, using an upper-body humanoid at the sorting line. This is one big difference I keep seeing between U.S. and Chinese robotics: U.S. teams like Figure are making a massive bet on the universal humanoid. Chinese teams are often more willing to change the body if it makes the economics work today. Back in June, I called logistics sorting the right first job for humanoids. X Square is making me rethink the “humanoid” part. If the job doesn’t need legs—or five fingers—why pay for them?$

Science fiction is coming to life. - Figure has already produced 350 Figure 03 humanoid robots; each robot features a pair of five-fingered hands. - The production line is capable of producing one robot per hour. - Figure targets production of 55 Figure 03 robots this week, that's an annualized rate of 2,860. - Manufactured 9,000 actuators across 10+ variants. - Achieved an 80% first-pass yield (the percentage of robots that successfully pass through the production process the first time without requiring rework).

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.

China’s factory model is changing as more workers reject the old model of 12-hour shifts and factory-owned time. In factories back in their hometown, these workers are now going home mid-shift to cook lunch for their kids.

Figure has shared numbers on its 11-month humanoid deployment at BMW's Spartanburg factory. - Contributed to the production of 30,000+ cars (X3 vehicles). - 90,000+ parts loaded. - Ran 10-hour shifts, Monday to Friday. - Estimated 200+ miles of walking. - A single Figure 02 robot achieved 6 months of daily runtime at the factory. - The top hardware failure point was the forearm. Learning have informed the Figure 03 design. Three Critical KPIs were defined: - Cycle Time: 84 seconds. - Part loading accuracy: >99% per shift - Zero interventions requiring a pause or reset of the robot (per shift). The company says: "To meet this (the KPIs), our robot had to achieve precise yet adaptive locomotion, allowing rapid, accurate foot placement and real-time responsiveness to environmental changes."
