Commercial Humanoid Robotics in High-Precision Automotive Manufacturing
Figure AI has reached an industry milestone: autonomous Figure 02 humanoid robots operating in commercial production at BMW Manufacturing's Spartanburg plant. Founded by Brett Adcock, Figure has engineered a robot with end-to-end vision-language-action (VLA) neural control that works alongside automotive technicians.
Production Metric: Figure 02 robots achieved a 99.4% placement accuracy rate for delicate sheet metal chassis parts, operating continuously throughout full manufacturing shifts.
OpenAI Multimodal Speech Collaboration
Equipped with onboard microphones and speakers powered by custom low-latency OpenAI multimodal models, Figure 02 understands spoken natural language commands from floor managers and explains its intended actions in real-time.
