Humanoid Robot Figure 03 Completes 200-Hour Continuous Package Sorting Test

Humanoid robot company Figure AI has successfully concluded a groundbreaking 200-hour continuous package sorting operation performed by its robot, Figure 03. The test, streamed live on YouTube, significantly surpassed the company's initial goal of an 8-hour continuous run, showcasing the robot's advanced capabilities and endurance.

Figure 03 processed an impressive 249,560 packages during the 200-hour period, averaging approximately 1,248 packages per hour. The 173 cm tall, 61 kg robot demonstrated remarkable dexterity and autonomy, handling tasks without human intervention. Its primary function involved orienting packages so that barcodes faced downwards, a complex task requiring precise manipulation.

Figure AI employees celebrated the milestone, with champagne flowing as the robot neared the 200-hour mark. The robot, powered by its own AI model, Helix-02, made independent judgments for sorting. It adeptly reached for distant items, used its five-fingered hands for delicate tasks like handling light plastic bags, and employed both hands for larger boxes, adjusting their position as needed.

Global viewers watching the live stream lauded the achievement, with comments highlighting the robot's human-like movements and the realization of previously science-fiction-only capabilities. The successful 200-hour continuous operation represents a significant step forward in the development of general-purpose humanoid robots capable of performing complex tasks in real-world environments.
