Figure AI's Fleet of Figure 03 Robots Now Operates 24/7 Without Human Supervision

Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock revealed that a fleet of seven Figure 03 humanoid robots at the company's Sunnyvale headquarters is now operating autonomously around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays — without human babysitters. When a robot's battery runs low, it navigates itself to a wireless inductive charging dock (2 kW, full charge in about one hour), while a fully charged replacement robot vacates the dock and takes over the active task. If a unit hits a hardware or software fault, it removes itself to a triage area and a backup swaps in automatically. The system, powered by Figure's Helix AI architecture, eliminates the hand-coded C++ stack the company previously relied on. Figure now occupies five buildings in Sunnyvale and is building its 'BotQ' factory targeting 12,000 units per year initially, scaling to 100,000. The milestone moves Figure beyond staged demos toward the kind of continuous, unsupervised fleet operation needed to make humanoid robots commercially viable — starting with manufacturing partners like BMW.

Figure Unveils Helix 02: Full-Body Neural Network Controls Humanoid Walking, Manipulation, and Balance

Figure AI announced Helix 02, a single neural network that controls its humanoid robot's entire body directly from camera pixels. The system demonstrated a continuous 4-minute autonomous kitchen task — unloading a dishwasher, walking across the room, stacking items in cabinets, and reloading the dishwasher — with no human intervention. Helix 02 replaces over 109,000 lines of hand-engineered C++ with a unified visuomotor network trained on 1,000+ hours of human motion data.

Toyota Canada Expands Digit Humanoid Deployment After Successful Year-Long Pilot

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC), Toyota's largest manufacturing operation outside Japan, is expanding its deployment of Agility Robotics' Digit humanoid from 3 to 10 units after a successful year-long pilot. The robots load and unload totes from automated tuggers at TMMC's Ontario plants, which assemble over 535,000 vehicles annually. Toyota and Agility plan to explore additional use cases across manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics — automating repetitive, physically taxing tasks to reduce strain and increase safety for employees. Agility's CEO noted the next-generation Digit will be the first cooperatively safe humanoid robot designed to work alongside people.

Apptronik Raises $520M to Ramp Up Apollo Humanoid Production, Nearing $1B Total

Apptronik has raised a $520 million Series A-X funding round, bringing its total Series A to over $935 million and total capital raised to nearly $1 billion. The Austin-based humanoid developer plans to ramp up production of its Apollo humanoid robot and expand global commercial deployments. Apollo, built on nearly a decade of development across 15 previous robots including NASA's Valkyrie, is designed to work alongside humans in manufacturing, logistics, and eventually healthcare and homes. Apptronik has partnerships with Mercedes-Benz, GXO Logistics, Jabil, and Google DeepMind — the latter powering Apollo with Gemini Robotics. The company also plans to build new facilities for robot training and data collection, and expects to debut the newest version of Apollo later this year.
