You can watch fire burn, water flow— or watch humanoid robot Figure 02 flawlessly sort packages. Every move is so precise and meaningful that you sometimes forget this is a machine driven by neural networks, not a human.
In June 2025, Figure AI demonstrated the impressive capabilities of its flagship humanoid robot. In autonomous mode, Figure 02 not only lifts boxes but confidently recognizes and handles complex, soft, and deformable packages— from plastic bags to irregularly shaped boxes.
In the video that spread across the tech world, the robot completes a full cycle: scans a barcode, sorts the package into the assigned category, transfers it to the correct bin— all with astonishing speed and coordination. The average handling time per item was under four seconds. By comparison, a human working in an Amazon facility takes one‑and‑a‑half to two times longer.
The most remarkable feature is Figure 02’s ability to cope with unpredictably shaped objects. Its grippers are equipped with dynamic sensors and flexible grips, allowing real‑time adjustment of grip force and angle. All of this is powered by a fully autonomous AI module capable of instant decision‑making in changing scenarios.
Figure AI officially states that by the end of 2025 it plans to begin industrial deployment of Figure 02 in logistics chains—from warehouses to transport hubs. The company’s founders call it not just a revolution in robotics, but a paradigm shift in labor.
While skeptics debate the threat to jobs, one thing is clear—the speed at which the industry is changing leaves no time for long reflection. The future belongs to those who learn to collaborate with machines the fastest.
