A humanoid-robot maker just crossed 1,000 robots built — and one automaker is already using them
Figure AI says it has built its 1,000th Figure 03 humanoid at its BotQ factory, now producing about one robot per hour, and BMW has expanded its use of Figure's robots at its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant to a more complex parts-sequencing job.
For the 806: Most robot news is a demo video.
