Figure F.03 vs human 8-hour sort challenge
On May 18, 2026, Figure ran the first public head-to-head between an F.03 robot and a trained human on an 8-hour package-sort shift, with the human narrowly winning 12,924 parcels (2.79 s/item) versus 12,732 parcels (2.83 s/item)—the tightest published gap to human throughput on a real industrial task.
