Figure 02 Just Helped Build 30,000 BMWs
The future of factory work isn’t coming, it’s already clocked in, worked 11 months straight, and walked 200 miles on the job.
Figure AI has officially retired its Figure 02 humanoid robots after an absolutely wild industrial run at BMW’s Spartanburg plant. And the numbers are jaw-dropping.
Figure 03: The Most Advanced Humanoid Robot Yet
The robotics world just took another big step forward. Figure AI, the company behind the viral humanoid demos earlier this year, has unveiled the Figure 03, and it’s not just an upgrade.
It’s a complete redesign aimed at creating a truly general-purpose robot that can eventually work safely and efficiently alongside humans, whether in factories, offices, or even homes. Here’s what’s new and why it matters.
Figure 02 Just Loaded the Dishwasher
Figure’s humanoid Figure 02 just completed a full, end-to-end dishwasher-loading task on its own—seeing messy dishes, planning grasps, opening racks, placing items, and closing up—another household milestone after recent laundry and washer-loading demos. It’s a small chore with big implications for general-purpose robotics in the home.
Figure 02 Does the Laundry
In a quiet yet groundbreaking moment, Figure 02, one of the world’s most advanced humanoid robots, was recently captured autonomously doing laundry in the home of Figure CEO Brett Adcock. More than just a PR stunt, this real-world deployment marks a major milestone in the evolution of domestic robotics.
