Bmw Factory Humanoid Robot

The agreement puts BMW in a race with Tesla and other automakers who've embraced a vision of humanoid robots in an effort to further automate their already tech.

BMW is taking a page out of Tesla's playbook by experimenting with artificially intelligent human-like robots at one of its car plants.

BMW has been testing the Figure 02 humanoid robot at its factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina, previewing a future in which humanoid robots could become auto plant workers. BMW's South Carolina plant is testing humanoid robot workers The 'general purpose' robots from robotics startup Figure are intended to automate dangerous or repetitive manufacturing tasks.

German carmaker BMW revealed it used a humanoid robot called Figure 02 on the floor of its Spartanburg, South Carolina facility. Figure's AI humanoid robots have signed an agreement with BMW Manufacturing, and they are expected to assist the latter's employees in a step. In a groundbreaking demonstration of robotic endurance, Figure's humanoid robot has completed a marathon 20-hour shift on BMW's X3 production line.

This milestone represents a significant leap forward in manufacturing automation, as most human workers would be ready to collapse after just half that time (and would probably demand overtime pay, unlike their mechanical counterparts).
