During several weeks of testing at the BMW Group’s plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the latest Figure 02 humanoid robot successfully placed sheet metal parts into the appropriate fixtures, which were then assembled as part of the chassis. This requires a high degree of precision and dexterity from the robot to ensure that this stage of production runs smoothly.

The video below shows a trial application of the robot in the sheet metal workshop at the BMW plant:

During the trial, the company gained valuable information about the requirements for integrating the so-called multi-tasking robots into an existing production system. This includes how the humanoid robots communicate with the system under real production conditions.

According to Figure, the Figure 02 humanoid robot is the most advanced humanoid robot currently available on the market. With its combination of bipedal mobility and advanced dexterity, Figure 02 is ideal for tasks requiring physical intensity, safety or repetitive processes, thus improving ergonomics and occupational safety.

The robot features three times the computing power of its predecessor, improved voice communication capabilities, state-of-the-art cameras, microphones and sensors, a high-capacity battery and fourth-generation hands with 16 degrees of freedom and human-like strength.

The robot is able to autonomously perform tasks requiring ambidextrous manipulation, complex grasping and dynamic coordination, allowing precise placement of parts with millimetre accuracy. It can also move dynamically using the advanced capabilities of its design.
