Figure 02 helped produce 30,000 vehicles at BMW plant, company reports 11-month deployment results
Figure AI announced results from an 11-month deployment of its Figure 02 humanoid robots at BMW Group’s Spartanburg plant, reporting that they helped produce more than 30,000 X3 vehicles.
What happened
Figure AI announced the results of its Figure 02 robot deployment at BMW Group’s Spartanburg plant on November 19, 2025. According to the announcement, the robots began full-scale deployment on an active production line after 10 months, operated five days a week on 10-hour shifts, handled more than 90,000 parts and logged more than 1,250 hours of operation, helping produce more than 30,000 X3 vehicles. Figure AI also said it would begin retiring the Figure 02 as it released the Figure 03.
Why it matters
The announcement provides concrete operating conditions and throughput for a humanoid robot performing sheet-metal part transfers on an active production line, running five days a week on 10-hour shifts. Figure said it used more than 1,250 hours of operation and intervention records from the site to revise the design around the forearms and wrists, where failures were more likely. The account shows that real-world operational data informed the next-generation robot’s design changes.
