Figure-03

Figure CEO Brett Adcock announces the production of the 1,000th Figure 03 robot at the company’s BotQ facility, celebrating the milestone with a C-3PO-inspired golden humanoid.

Following the retirement of its second-generation fleet, Figure returns to BMW’s South Carolina plant with Figure 03 to tackle complex material sorting and sequencing tasks.

The $39 billion robotics startup is taking its humanoid fleet to a major retail distribution center in Reno, marking the first commercial bridge with a portfolio company of mutual investor Brookfield.

What started as a modest 8-hour challenge just transformed into an unprecedented 200-hour endurance flex. Here is how Brett Adcock’s multi-day robotics marathon finally ended (with bubbly, of course).

Figure AI pitted a human intern against its Figure 03 autonomous humanoid fleet in a head-to-head package sorting trial. While humanity secured a narrow victory, the machine fleet proved its real value through unbroken persistence.
