Figure AI Hits One Robot Per Hour at BotQ Factory—24x Scale in Under 120 Days

From One a Day to One an Hour

Figure AI announced on April 29, 2026, that its BotQ manufacturing facility has reached a production rate of one Figure 03 humanoid robot per hour, up from one per day in January. That is a 24x throughput improvement achieved in under 120 days. Over 350 units have been delivered to date, and CEO Brett Adcock confirmed the company is on track to ship more than 55 robots this week alone.

Quality at Scale

BotQ's end-of-line first-pass yield exceeds 80%, with the battery line achieving 99.3% yield across over 500 packs. Each robot undergoes more than 50 in-process inspection checkpoints, over 80 functional verification tests, and full-body stress evaluations including squatting and jogging at high cycle counts to catch early failures before shipping.

More Robots, Smarter AI

Figure frames the production milestone as an AI training advantage, not just a supply achievement. A larger deployed fleet generates more real-world data for Helix, Figure's whole-body control AI model, helping identify edge-case failures that are invisible at smaller scale. The company's long-term production target is 50,000 robots per year.
