Figure Takes BMW's Robotic Fleet to the Next Level

Figure CEO Brett Adcock shared an update on the company’s humanoid robots operating at BMW's Spartanburg facility, highlighting significant advancements in their performance. These robots are making major strides in speed and accuracy, enhancing their autonomous capabilities.

Key details include:

- The Figure 02 robots carry out 1,000 autonomous component placements daily at the BMW factory, primarily focusing on essential battery cell installations.

- The fleet now completes EV battery assembly tasks 400% faster than when it was first deployed in August, while precision has improved by 7x.

- These robots can autonomously lift, transport, and precisely position battery components onto car frames without human intervention.

- Engineers use digital replicas of the factory floor to fine-tune the robots' movements and decision-making before deploying them in real-world operations.

Why it matters: The rapid rise of general-purpose humanoid robots in industrial settings marks a significant milestone, signaling that practical robot automation may soon reach widespread use. This partnership between robotics companies and the automotive industry underscores the potential for robots to eventually be deployed in homes and everyday environments.
