Description

Figure deployed its Figure 02 humanoid robot at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg for an 11-month trial performing sheet-metal loading on an active assembly line, running 10-hour shifts Monday-Friday. Over the deployment, the robot loaded 90,000+ parts, logged 1,250+ hours of runtime, and contributed to the production of 30,000+ X3 vehicles, with a target cycle time of 84 seconds and placement accuracy goal of 99% per shift.

Problem

BMW's sheet-metal loading task at Plant Spartanburg required balancing speed and precision, placing parts within a 5-millimeter tolerance in just 2 seconds, with a requirement of 84 seconds total cycle time (37 seconds load time) and a target of 99% placement accuracy per shift.

Implementation approach

Within 6 months of bringing up Figure 02, robots were delivered to the plant and testing began; within 10 months, full deployment was launched on an active assembly line running 10-hour shifts Monday-Friday, every working day, over an 11-month trial.

Solution

Figure deployed its Figure 02 humanoid robot on an active assembly line for sheet-metal loading, a pick-and-place task where the robot picks sheet-metal parts from racks or bins and places them on a welding fixture, using precise yet adaptive locomotion, hand-eye coordination algorithms, and field-calibration tools for consistent cross-robot performance.
