Autonomous Figure 02 Humanoid Robot BMW Factory Work
Thanks to human-scale hands, six RGB cameras, and perception AI models trained with synthetic data generated in Isaac Sim, Figure 02 is still working hard at the BMW Factory Group Spartanburg.



The company also recently added a second NVIDIA RTX GPU-based module on board Figure 02, which supplies 3x inference gains for handling fully autonomous real-world AI tasks compared with the humanoid robot’s first iteration. Put simply, it can perform high-precision pick-and-place tasks required for smart manufacturing applications at a high level without human intervention.

This operation can be performed more efficiently and faster with dumb robotic arms. The humanoid can perform the task, but this is not the business case yet. When they are around $60k and can perform faster and better autonomous non-repetitive tasks, the humanoid could have a decent ROI in manufacturing, where wages are above $20 per hour,” said one commenter.
