# Figure AI doubles robot production, scaling manufacturing at BotQ factory

> Figure says its humanoid robots are now rolling off the line at a real clip. At its BotQ factory, the company claims it is producing one Figure 03 robot roughly every 90 minutes, with monthly shipments climbing as it doubles output. For a field long stuck at hand-built prototypes, moving to something that looks like manufacturing is the harder half of the problem. Context matters here. Figure was valued at $39B after its Series C in September 2025, and its machines are being pitched for commercial warehouse work alongside rivals like Tesla's Optimus and Boston Dynamics. The race is no longer only about whether a robot can walk and grasp; it is about whether you can build thousands of them affordably and reliably. That shift is what makes production numbers worth watching more than demo videos. Impressive clips are cheap, but a factory cadence, if it holds, is what turns humanoid robots from a research curiosity into a product companies can actually order and deploy at scale.
