Overview
- Figure AI extended an intended eight-hour warehouse livestream on Wednesday into a continuous run that, by Friday, topped 40 hours and more than 50,000 packages processed, according to company posts and coverage.
- The robots ran Helix‑02, a single neural control system that uses camera vision, touch sensors, and body feedback to guide walking, gripping, and placement without teleoperation.
- A multi‑robot failover setup kept work going as units self‑diagnosed issues, walked off for maintenance, and swapped in fresh robots when batteries neared three to four hours of use.
- CEO Brett Adcock said speeds neared human workers at about three seconds per package, though viewers and experts noted slow movements, pauses, misoriented barcodes, and even a knocked‑off package during the stream.
- Journalists stressed the results come from a company‑run livestream with no third‑party audit, and they noted both the crowded field of rivals and past scrutiny of Figure’s BMW claims as reasons customers will demand repeatable results in real facilities.
