Summary
BMW Group has deployed Figure AI's next-generation humanoid robot, Figure 03, at Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina to handle sorting and sequencing of logistics parts. This follows a successful 11-month deployment of its predecessor, Figure 02, which worked in the body shop inserting sheet-metal parts for welding, helping build over 30,000 G45 X3 units without incident. The new robot marks a continued push by BMW to integrate advanced humanoid robotics into automotive manufacturing logistics.
