Customer evidence from 2026
BMW’s June 25, 2026 release describes Figure 03 in a sequencing demonstration at Spartanburg, with development running at both BMW and Figure. The customer record supports an industrial research application beyond the home-oriented launch. It does not provide a full-shift output, intervention, or cost dataset. BMW’s project report ↗
Read the intended use and the result
A home-oriented design describes where a machine is meant to work. Assessing the work requires a task, conditions, and a record of completion. We will connect demonstrations and customer evidence here as the reporting develops.
What we are following
- Which tasks are run autonomously and what supervision is disclosed.
- How grasping performs across different objects and placements.
- How the system handles an interrupted or unsuccessful task.
