Figure's F.03 Starts Logistics Work at BMW's Spartanburg Plant

Figure's newest humanoid, F.03, has started work at BMW's Spartanburg plant, picking components from unsorted bins and sequencing them into trolleys for assembly workers - a step up from its predecessor, which spent ten months welding sheet metal into more than thirty thousand BMW X3s. F.03 adds wireless charging, tactile hand sensors, palm cameras and speech-to-speech audio, and this deployment runs sequencing, a genuinely fiddly logistics job, not just repetitive welding. BMW's willing to keep escalating what it hands the robot. That's the real story here - not the demo, the second contract.
