What sets Figure 02 apart is its combination of two-legged mobility and advanced dexterity. This makes it ideally suited for use in areas with physically demanding, unsafe, or repetitive processes, potentially improving ergonomics and safety for human workers.
The BMW iFACTORY: A vision for the future These implementations of virtual reality and robotics are part of BMW’ s broader iFACTORY vision for the production of the future. This strategy focuses on efficiency, digitalisation, and sustainability, constantly seeking new technologies to enhance manufacturing processes.
The use of digital twins and virtual simulations, powered by platforms like NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise, allows BMW to validate and optimise complex manufacturing systems throughout its production network. This digital-first approach accelerates planning, reduces effort, and aims to realise more efficient, stable vehicle launches in the future.
While BMW’ s advancements in Industry 4.0 technologies are impressive, the company is taking a measured approach to implementation.
