Watch: Figure’s 01 humanoids now working at BMW’s car plant in US

Figure's humanoid robot, deployed at BMW's facility, demonstrates full autonomy in vehicle assembly, guided by neural network-driven actions.

A few months ago, Mercedes also announced it was employing Apptronik’s Apollo robot to complete simple tasks like fetching and carrying, helping lighten the load for its human colleagues. The versatile robots from Figure are capable of executing a wide range of manufacturing jobs, including handling sheet metal, operating in the body shop, and overseeing the warehouse. Founded in 2022 by Brett Adcock, Figure has rapidly advanced thanks to a talented team consisting of former employees from tech giants like Boston Dynamics, Tesla, Google DeepMind, and Archer Aviation.
