Figure fills its headquarters with Figure 03 robots, but the workload stays unclear
CEO Brett Adcock posted two videos of dozens of Figure 03 humanoids around the campus, while the company still gives no count of robots doing paid work.
Figure CEO Brett Adcock posted two videos of about 90 seconds each on 6 and 7 November, showing dozens of Figure 03 humanoids around the company's headquarters. The robots stand on the lawn, walk the paths and wait in the lobby while employees pass by with coffee. Adcock captioned the first clip with a line saying the whole world will look like this one day, and it passed 320,000 views by Saturday.
The scene fits a goal Adcock set in the spring: more robots than people in the halls of a company of roughly 500 staff. Figure built its 1,000th Figure 03 in July, and its BotQ factory reached a pace of one robot per hour in April. Almost none of the robots in the clips are doing a task, though.
Why it matters
Production is clearly running ahead of disclosed commercial use. Figure has named only a few customers, among them BMW and Catalyst Brands, and said in October that robots work in three US states. It has not said how many robots do paid work, how many were on campus during filming, or how many it has built since July. Part of the fleet is busy at home with data collection for its Helix models and endurance tests. Watch for a deployment count or a new production total, since those numbers would show how much of the fleet earns money.
