Figure 03 Wraps 200-Hour Autonomous Marathon At 249,560 Packages With Zero Hardware Failures — The Originally-Planned 8-Hour Livestream That Stretched 25× — Brett Adcock Pops Champagne At Sunnyvale HQ, Confirms 「Figure 04 Design Finalized」, May 22, 2026 Robotics

Figure 03 Wraps 200-Hour Autonomous Marathon At 249,560 Packages With Zero Hardware Failures — The Originally-Planned 8-Hour Livestream That Stretched 25× — Brett Adcock Pops Champagne At Sunnyvale HQ, Confirms 「Figure 04 Design Finalized」, May 22, 2026

Figure 03 sorted 249,560 packages over 200 hours of unedited livestream — zero hardware failures, no humans in the loop, the equivalent of 25 human shifts. The next robot is already designed.

Figure 03 vs. Intern Aime, May 17: Human Wins the 10-Hour Sort 12,924 to 12,732 — Margin Is 192 Packages, 2.79 vs. 2.83 Seconds Per Box — California Labor Law's Mandatory Meal & Rest Breaks Are the Entire Difference — Aime's Left Forearm 「Basically Broken」, Fleet Past 116h Continuous, Adcock: 「This Is the Last Time a Human Will Ever Win」 Robotics

Figure 03 vs. Intern Aime, May 17: Human Wins the 10-Hour Sort 12,924 to 12,732 — Margin Is 192 Packages, 2.79 vs. 2.83 Seconds Per Box — California Labor Law's Mandatory Meal & Rest Breaks Are the Entire Difference — Aime's Left Forearm 「Basically Broken」, Fleet Past 116h Continuous, Adcock: 「This Is the Last Time a Human Will Ever Win」

Figure AI pitted intern Aime against a Figure 03 fleet for 10 hours. The human won by 192 packages. The fleet had no breaks, no blistered fingers, and is still going at hour 116.

Figure 03, May 13–14 Livestream: Three Helix-02 Humanoids Nicknamed by Viewers 「Bob, Frank, and Gary」 Blow Past Their Own 8-Hour Public Target to a 24-Hour, 28,000-Package Autonomous Run — Started Because a Robotics Evangelist Dared Brett Adcock On X, Ended With 「Uncharted Territory」 and ~2M Live Viewers Robotics

Figure 03, May 13–14 Livestream: Three Helix-02 Humanoids Nicknamed by Viewers 「Bob, Frank, and Gary」 Blow Past Their Own 8-Hour Public Target to a 24-Hour, 28,000-Package Autonomous Run — Started Because a Robotics Evangelist Dared Brett Adcock On X, Ended With 「Uncharted Territory」 and ~2M Live Viewers

Three Figure 03 humanoid robots running Helix-02 onboard sorted >28,000 small packages over a continuous autonomous shift that began as an 8-hour public stunt on May 13 and crossed 24 hours by May 14, with zero teleoperation and ~2 million livestream viewers. Brett Adcock called it 「uncharted territory.」 The livestream was started because Scott Walter publicly bet the humanoid industry couldn't get to a single 8-hour shift.
