- Figure AI F.03 robots have sorted packages
- An 8-hour live stream showed the bots working autonomously
- The video currently has 10 million views
Figure AI continues to pose new challenges to itself and its humanoid robots, and the latest test of these machines’ dexterity and intelligence was just livestreamed on X: sorting packages, unattended, for a full 8-hour production line shift.
The feat was sent to X by Figure AI boss Brett Adcock, and the three F.03 bots taking turns here seem to have completed the job most as needed. According to Adcock, the instructions were to detect package barcodes, pick up the packages and then send them down the conveyor belt, barcode side down.
From the video I’ve seen – which admittedly wasn’t the full 8 hours – the packages were all sorted correctly, with a few exceptions. Adcock says the robots are now up to parity with human speed on this task, which is apparently 3 seconds per second. package, using integrated cameras and the built-in Helix-02 software.
It is the full autonomy and lack of human supervision that Figur AI gets the most out of here, and there are now plans to attempt the same challenge for a full 24 hours. These robots may soon be coming to a production line near you.

The live stream is certainly pretty hypnotic to watch – and it’s a hit too, with 10 million views on the original video, prompting one Redditor to comment that the bots are “stealing jobs from warehouse workers AND streamers”.
There are several other amusing reactions online to the activities of these robots. Some observers appear to be convinced that the machines are being remotely operated by humans, with one of the F.03 models apparently touching its head at one point – a sign of a VR headset if you think it’s a scam.
I’m not convinced by that argument, and Figure AI has no reason to lie about what’s going on here. There are also reactions commenting on how much smarter and faster the robots work compared to a previous demo along similar lines, evidence of progress on both the hardware and software side.
There are also plenty of suggestions from commenters, including ways to improve the robot’s design and efficiency, and doubts that these machines are anywhere near human speeds for parcel sorting at the moment.
