The Spartanburg plant, home to Figure's robots, is BMW's only U.S. plant. As of 2019, the 8 million-square-foot campus had the highest productivity of any of the German manufacturer's plants worldwide.
In the comments under the post about the humanoid robot, Brett Adcock confirmed that he had already purchased four BMW X3 cars, which Figure robots were working on.
In addition, Figure announced the launch of a dataset that will collect 100,000 video data to train the company's robots. To do this, Figure records the process of performing household functions, such as cleaning, on action cameras, which will then be used to visually train the robots.
Unlike LLMs, we can't scrape the internet for robot data
