Figure 02 humanoid robot completes first real-world production deployment, building 30,000 cars at BMW
事件摘要
In 2025, Figure AI's humanoid robot Figure 02 completed the first real-world production deployment of a general-purpose humanoid robot in automotive manufacturing. Working 10-hour autonomous shifts at BMW's Spartanburg plant, Figure 02 supported the production of over 30,000 BMW X3 vehicles over a 10-month deployment. The project demonstrated that humanoid robots could deliver measurable value in real manufacturing conditions, marking a transition for embodied AI from research demos to industrial productivity.
