Recently, Figure, headquartered in California, announced that it will start the construction of a new high-volume BotQ humanoid robot manufacturing plant. Figure is a high-tech company that designs the plant entirely in-house, and the first generation of the production line is capable of producing up to 12,000 humanoid robots per year.

In order to achieve large-scale production, Figure has adopted a series of advanced technological measures, including vertical integration strategy to achieve independent control of the whole chain of "design-production-iteration", and the application of advanced manufacturing execution system (MES), product lifecycle management (PLM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) and other professional software platforms to ensure real-time control and resource optimization in the production process.

Notably, Figure plans to transition from the prototype robot Figure 02 to the production-ready Figure 03, which uses a cleaner design and more efficient manufacturing processes, such as die casting and injection molding, to significantly reduce part manufacturing time. This innovation not only improves production efficiency, but also marks an important step forward in the field of humanoid robot manufacturing. In the future, the new factory will use a hybrid workforce of robots and humans to further improve the flexibility, speed and precision of production, and reduce the repetitive tasks of humans.

The global intelligent robot industry has also ushered in new development opportunities. Ningbo Tuopu Group Co., Ltd., iKedi Co., Ltd., Xusheng Group and other auto parts giants have accelerated their layout in this field. Tesla CEO Elon Musk plans to build thousands of humanoid robots Optimus in 2025 and expand production to 50,000 to 100,000 units by 2026. In addition, Tesla's supplier Xusheng Group is also participating in the supply of magnesium alloy shells for Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus, and has completed the delivery of magnesium alloy shells.
