Figure says its BotQ facility has moved from prototype-style assembly to hourly production of its Figure 03 humanoid robot, a notable manufacturing milestone in a sector where many public demos still happen at very low volume.

What Figure reported

In a company post published April 30, Figure said BotQ increased throughput from one robot per day to one robot per hour in under 120 days. The company also said it has delivered more than 350 Figure 03 units so far and expects to manufacture 55 humanoids this week.

Figure attributed the ramp to a custom manufacturing execution system running across more than 150 networked workstations, tighter supplier qualification, and over 50 in-process inspection points. It said end-of-line first-pass yield is now above 80%, while its battery line has reached 99.3% first-pass yield across more than 500 battery packs. The company also said it has produced over 9,000 actuators across more than 10 SKUs.

Why it matters

Those numbers are still company-reported, but they matter because they shift the Figure story from isolated robot demos toward repeatable factory output. Secondary coverage from Interesting Engineering matched the broad contours of the release, including the hourly production claim and the 350-plus unit figure.

Figure paired the manufacturing update with a new perception-conditioned locomotion upgrade for its System 0 controller, but the bigger news is operational: humanoid robotics companies are now competing not just on demos, but on how quickly they can build, test, service, and update fleets in the field.
