Final report — 200-hour stream concluded
Retrospective archive of Figure AI F.03 humanoid robots sorting packages 24/7 at the company's San Jose / Sunnyvale HQ, May 2026.
📅 Stream ran: Wed 13 May 2026 10am PT → Fri 22 May 2026 ~6pm PT (200 cumulative hours over 9 days, planned shutdown announced by CEO Brett Adcock).
📊 Official final tally: 249,560 packages sorted, zero hardware failures.
🤖 Robots on stream: Bob, Frank, Gary, Rose, Jim — F.03 platform running Helix 02 (System 2/1/0 architecture).
💡 Why it started: Dr. Scott Walter (RoboStrategy) publicly challenged Adcock — "Words are cheap. Prove it." Adcock replied "We'll do it live." The first day was framed as an 8-hour endurance test; it ran 25× longer than the dare.
🤝 Follow-up deal (separate): Catalyst Brands × Figure AI signed 26 May 2026 — F.03 will deploy at Catalyst's 1.7M sqft Reno NV center serving JCPenney, Aéropostale, Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Lucky Brand, Nautica.
⊙ This tracker's coverage
Independent fan-built OCR monitor (gpt-5.4-nano via LiteLLM). Captured frames from the YouTube embed every 60-120s.
Window: 2026-05-13 17:05 UTC → 2026-05-20 01:37 UTC
Tracked: 152.57h of 200h ≈ 76% of the stream (worker died at hour 152.6; final 47.5h unobserved here)
Samples: 2,548 OCR readings · Last reading: 199,990 packages
⚠ Known data anomaly
In the final hour of tracking (stream_h 151.6 → 152.6, real time ~20 May 00:37–01:37 UTC) the vision OCR misread the package counter, inflating it by ~11,195. Apparent rate: 11,544/h vs normal ~1,250/h.

This contaminates every short-window calculation below (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h Pulse). Anything > 1,400/h on this page should be discarded. Whole-stream average ≈ 1,248/h (matches Figure's official 249,560 ÷ 200).

What continuous robot footage actually proves
Notable critiques during the stream: Dr. Ayanna Howard (Dean of Engineering, Ohio State) called the stream "science project"-stage, citing barcode misplacement and packages knocked off the belt. Jason Calacanis called it "robotic ASMR." Hacker News commenters debated whether the footage could be teleoperated — Figure director of AI Corey Lynch publicly responded that robots coordinate "fully visually, e.g. head nods."

      Human vs Robot — F.03 Challenge

      Challenge Performance (final-observed shift)
      ★ Actual 10-hour challenge — final score (humanoidsdaily.com)
      Aimé Gérard (Figure intern, human): 12,924 packages · ~1,292/h
      F.03 robot fleet (Bob/Frank/Gary/Rose/Jim, rotating): 12,732 packages · ~1,273/h
      Margin: Aimé won by 192 packages (≈1.5%). F.03 led briefly at hour ~5 when Aimé took a bathroom break, but Aimé retook the lead and held it to the bell. Aimé reported blistered fingers and a forearm that felt "basically broken."
      Brett Adcock (CEO) after the match: "This is the last time a human will ever win."

      ⚠ The numbers below were the dashboard's *previous* live framing. They compare a hardcoded "1,431/h human baseline" — which does not match published industry data. Real sort-to-destination throughput for an Amazon-class worker is 60–400 pkg/h (peak); 1,000+/h numbers in industry literature are *single-station induct feeds*, not full sort-to-bin. By that honest benchmark, F.03 sustained 1,248/h was already 3-20× a typical human sorter — Aimé's 1,292/h was an outlier peak-induct performance, not a normal human baseline.
