"In January 2024, Figure signed its first commercial agreement with BMW to deploy its humanoid robot in the German carmaker’s production facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Now, the California-based robotics firm has released a video showcasing its 01 humanoid robot executing its first job by participating in the vehicle assembly process."
I have a feeling when BMW gets the maintenance and technician bills for this thing, they’ll realize that maybe meatbags aren’t so bad
I bet this is a service model.
E.g. BMW pay x per hour for the machine and that’s it. Seeing as it is also a car manufacturer I’m sure they will have clauses stating all downtown caused by this humanoid will be occurred by that company.
Car manufacturers really don’t fuck about with downtime.
