The humanoid robots<\/strong> from the US-based robotics company Figure AI<\/strong> that worked at BMW<\/strong>‘s production facility have been retired. The robots, named Figure 02<\/strong>, served in the production of over 30,000 vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US-based Figure AI<\/strong> has officially announced the retirement of its Figure 02 (F.02)<\/strong> humanoid robot<\/strong> fleet that was operating in BMW<\/strong>‘s manufacturing facility. The F.02 robots successfully completed an 11-month<\/strong> period of live production line duties at the BMW Spartanburg factory<\/strong>. This pilot application was conducted to measure the permanent viability of humanoid robots<\/strong> on an active assembly line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data shared by the company, the F.02 robots participated in the production of more than 30,000 BMW X3 vehicles<\/strong> and handled over 90,000 sheet metal parts<\/strong>. Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock<\/strong> shared images of the robots covered in scratches, dirt, and friction marks, illustrating the real-world effects of heavy industrial conditions<\/strong> on the machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The images shared by the company show the F.02 robots<\/strong> exhibiting clear signs of wear and tear after months of shift work. These visuals also dispel previous suspicions that Figure AI<\/a><\/em><\/strong> was conducting only a limited laboratory test at BMW<\/strong>. The company stated that these images, along with the performance data they shared, confirm that humanoid robots<\/a><\/em><\/strong> can withstand a continuous, months-long production pace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure AI<\/strong> also disclosed technical details regarding the performance of the F.02 robots<\/strong> in the field. The company reported that following the setup process, the robots were quickly moved to the assembly line and became fully operational within the first six months<\/strong>. By the tenth month, the robots were working full shifts<\/strong> on the assembly line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The robots’ main task was to retrieve sheet metal parts<\/strong> from boxes and place them into the corresponding welding bay with a 5-millimeter tolerance<\/strong>. After the parts were positioned correctly, the welding process was executed by traditional robotic arms. The F.02s completed this operation with an 84-second cycle time<\/strong>, dedicating 37 seconds<\/strong> to the loading phase. The company announced that the accuracy rate<\/strong> remained above 99 percent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
