Humanoid Factory PoCs

Validate humanoid and dual-arm robots that step into existing human workstations — for loading, unloading, and parts handling — without major line changes.

Core functions
  • Loading, unloading, and parts placement at human workstations
  • Moving across several workstations within one task
  • Collecting task data by teleoperation to train AI models
Customer value
  • Try automation without building dedicated equipment or jigs
  • One robot can be repurposed across processes, suiting high-mix low-volume lines
  • Learn benefits and gaps early before full rollout
Check before deploying
  • Narrow to one or two tasks and set pass criteria for success rate and takt
  • Safety zoning and distance from workers

Selected Robots

Hand-picked for this work, with the reason each one fits. "PoC" marks robots to validate in a limited trial first.

AGIBOT G2 runs a test station on Longcheer's tablet production line in Nanchang

Challenge

Run a repetitive test station (fixture insertion at ±0.5 mm, pass/fail sorting) reliably without relying on manual labor.

Deployment

In April 2026, G2 was put on the MMIT test station at the Nanchang plant; 36-hour integration, with an 8-hour continuous run livestreamed.

Outcome

19–20 s cycles, 310 units/hour, >99% success, 140+ cumulative hours; expansion to 100 robots planned for Q3 2026.

At BMW Spartanburg, Figure 02 loaded sheet-metal parts into welding fixtures for about 11 months

Challenge

Inserting sheet-metal parts into welding fixtures in the body shop was still done by people.

Deployment

After a few weeks of testing in 2024, Figure 02 loaded sheet-metal parts into welding fixtures; in June 2026 Figure 03 began sorting inbound parts onto sequencing trolleys.

Outcome

About 11 months of operation supporting production of 30,000+ X3s.
