- BMW has integrated a new humanoid AI robot, Figure 03, into the logistics of its Spartanburg plant in the US, marking a shift from traditional AI applications like chatbots and data analysis.
- The use of physical AI at the plant follows a year-long trial of its predecessor, Figure 02, which successfully welded body parts for over 30,000 vehicles.
- Figure 03’s enhanced capabilities allow it to perform cognitive and tactile tasks, such as picking unsorted components from boxes and sorting them into the precise sequence needed for the assembly line.
- This marks a step for AI technology to handle more complex tasks beyond mere physical operations.
