Figure AI robots reach third day of continuous autonomous operation
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.
Positive users are impressed by Figure AI's humanoid robots running autonomously nonstop to sort over 50,000 packages, while negative users suspect remote control or question the practicality of using humanoids for the task.

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 🔥🔥🔥
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!

@tonytribby Robot failure where we can't do the use case anymore. We will fail every now and then on the package/barcode, but so do the humans when doing this use case

@adcock_brett Tbh, watching F.03 constantly flip the packages is actually kind of stress-relieving.

Join us. Crazy entry right now 😮sub 30k.

@adcock_brett Why don’t we also track task success rate? We need to know what percentage of packages aren’t getting scanned due to robot error

@adcock_brett What is failure? I just saw a package with the barcode facing the camera pass through.

@636_OC @adcock_brett @USPS @FedEx @UPS @amazon It’s more efficient for a business because it doesn’t require employees with health insurance, sick calls, expectations of raises, injury risk, and a whole host of other factors.

@adcock_brett Sisyphutrons sorting the same packages for 3 days.

@davwvwv We do track it internally but we don't have it hooked into the livestream

@adcock_brett 63,000 packages with no downtime meanwhile my printer needs emotional support before every document.
Physical AI is arriving faster than most people realize

@adcock_brett Hi again--there was definitely one time visible where the robot placed the box with the label facing the camera rather than facing down. When you say "failure" do you mean failing to do the task, or the robot actually ceasing to function?

@AmineTX @adcock_brett A human doing this with >2 weeks of experience would have all the little kinks worked out in their movement and probably sustain 2k packages per hour (+/- 1k). So ~32 hrs of labor at say $20/hr all in ~ $640.

@adcock_brett Run to failure is an incredible idea.
What a great demo.

@adcock_brett Brett if anyone asks when the livesteam will end

@adcock_brett this compared to @USPS, @FedEx, @UPS or @Amazon sorting system more efficient... how?
