Figure lifts F.03 output 24x to one robot an hour, targets 55 this week

Figure is making a production claim, not another lab demo. In its X post, the company said F.03 production at BotQ has scaled 24x in 120 days, from 1 robot a day to 1 robot an hour, and that it expects to build 55 humanoid robots this week. That matters because humanoid timelines often stall at impressive videos with no fleet scale behind them. Figure is arguing that the factory bottleneck has started to break.

“Figure scaled manufacturing 24x - from 1 robot/day to 1 robot/hour.”

The primary post is here on X. Figure’s account usually mixes Helix autonomy demos with concrete manufacturing and deployment updates, and the follow-up context is unusually specific. A companion post links the company’s BotQ production write-up, where Figure says it has already delivered over 350 third-generation robots and produced more than 9,000 actuators across over 10 distinct SKUs. It also says BotQ runs custom manufacturing execution software across more than 150 networked workstations.

The article adds the sort of operational detail missing from most humanoid marketing. Figure says end-of-line first-pass yield is already above 80% and improving weekly, while the battery line has reached a 99.3% first-pass yield and shipped over 500 battery packs. Each robot goes through more than 80 functional verification tests, plus burn-in sessions meant to expose early failures before the machines reach the field. That makes the post less about spectacle and more about reliability engineering.

The strategic point is the data loop. Figure says the larger fleet feeds Helix, its humanoid AI stack, and supports newer capabilities such as perception-conditioned whole-body control for tasks like stairs and uneven terrain. The next thing to watch is whether the promised 55 robots per week becomes a sustained cadence and whether external customer deployments confirm the reliability story. If that happens, this tweet will read as an early marker that humanoid robotics has entered a manufacturing phase instead of remaining a prototype race. The source tweet is here.
