The BMW Group is the first automaker to use humanoid robots in production, testing the Figure 02 model from the California-based company Figure. The robots can perform precise and dynamic tasks, support plant employees and offer tactile capabilities. BMW Deployment Highlights: Ran 10-hour shift Monday-Friday 90,000+ parts loaded 1,250+ hours of runtime Contributed to the production of 30,000+ X3 vehicles Estimated 1.2+ million robot steps or 200+ miles Following the release of Figure 03, we're officially starting the retirement of Figure 02, our second.
Figure AI has retired its Figure 02 humanoid robots after an 11-month industrial run inside BMW's Spartanburg plant. On a BMW assembly line in South Carolina, a humanoid robot has quietly reached a milestone that many human workers never see, wrapping up a career after helping build more than 30,000 BMW X3 sport. Figure's humanoid robot makes history by working 20 consecutive hours on BMW's X3 production line, showcasing unprecedented endurance in automotive manufacturing.
In January 2024, Figure AI, a California-based robotics startup, announced a commercial partnership with BMW Manufacturing to deploy its humanoid robots at the automaker's Spartanburg, South Carolina plant. Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock announced that a Figure humanoid robot completed a 20-hour continuous run of back-to-back shifts at BMW's production facility. This milestone is presented as a significant step in Figure's 2025 goal of deploying autonomous humanoids in real.
Six months after BMW signed a deal with robotics startup Figure AI, the Figure 01 bipedal humanoid robots are being tested at BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina production facility. Figure's latest progress report shows how the robots could help in manufacturing jobs. Figure AI and BMW signed a commercial partnership agreement in January that first saw Figure identify potential use cases for.
