Figure AI robots reach third day of continuous autonomous operation

0

Figure AI humanoid robots have completed three days of uninterrupted 24/7 operation driven entirely by neural networks in a live broadcast. They execute various work tasks continuously without any human intervention. The demonstration continues until a hardware failure occurs and highlights advances in sustained unsupervised robot control.

Details on what's going on: > Our original goal was an 8-hour run - we wanted to run nonstop and fully autonomous. Since then, we made the decision to keep the party going. We’re now over 48 hours of nonstop autonomous operation without a failure to perform the use case. This is uncharted territory > The task is small package sorting. F.03 detects the barcode, picks up the package, and reorients it barcode face-down onto the conveyor > Humans average around 3 seconds per package. F.03 is now around human parity. The robots are reasoning directly from camera pixels in the robot head > The robots are fully autonomous running Helix-02, our in-house neural network running entirely onboard F.03. There is no teleoperation - every action comes directly from Helix-02 > If the robot gets stuck or the AI policy goes out of distribution, Helix triggers an automatic reset. You’ll occasionally see this happen during the livestream > YouTube commenters started naming the robots Bob, Frank, Rose, and Gary this week, so we added name tags to each robot > If a robot has a software or hardware issue, it autonomously leaves for maintenance and another robot takes over. We run our labs at Figure this way to maximize uptime. We haven’t had a failure yet, but statistically we probably will at some point We are now running this until a failure to perform the use case!

We're on Day 3 of neural network-driven work

76,940 packages over 61 hours 18 minutes

The robots are averaging roughly 1 package every 2.9 seconds

No breaks

This week, Figure started an 8 hour livestream to demonstrate fully autonomous, nonstop work

We’ve now crossed 50 hours of continuous operation with no downtime, sorting over 63,000 packages

The robots are still running - we’re going until failure 🔥🔥🔥
