Figure 03 arrives at BMW Spartanburg
2026-06-30 · Publisher : Figure AI · Domain : Robotics
Figure deploys Figure 03 in Hall 52 of BMW's Spartanburg plant for a parts-sequencing task, more demanding than the sheet-metal loading done by Figure 02, which contributed to 30,000 cars.
What changes
- Figure 03 takes over from Figure 02 at BMW, in Hall 52 of the Spartanburg plant.
- New task: sequencing parts for the assembly line, with parts arriving in varied positions.
- The robot combines precise picking with forceful manipulation, including pulling heavy carts.
- Figure 02 had contributed to the assembly of 30,000 cars by loading sheet metal.
### Background On 30 June 2026, Figure announced the arrival of Figure 03 in Hall 52 of BMW's Spartanburg plant (South Carolina). The robot performs a sequencing task there: selecting parts for the assembly line as they arrive in varied orientations and positions. The task combines precise picking with forceful manipulation, for instance pulling heavy carts, coordinating hands, arms, torso and feet. ### Deployment details | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Site | BMW Spartanburg, Hall 52 | | Robot | Figure 03 | | Task | Parts sequencing for assembly | | Predecessor | Figure 02: sheet-metal loading, 30,000 cars | | Number of robots | Not disclosed | Figure has not yet published performance metrics for this deployment. ### Why it matters According to Figure, Figure 03 reaches "an entirely new tier of complexity" compared with Figure 02's simple pick-and-place. It is a full-scale test for a humanoid designed for both home and industry. ### Key takeaway The deployment comes two months after Figure reported more than 350 Figure 03 units produced at its BotQ plant.
