AgiBot passes 15,000 cumulative units as Figure builds one an hour

Two production numbers worth reading together: 15,000 cumulative units at AgiBot, and Figure 03 at roughly one robot per hour. One is a total, the other is a rate, and the rate is the more informative figure.

AgiBot has reached 15,000 cumulative units. Figure 03 is reported in production at approximately one robot per hour, having passed 1,000 units. Atlas deployments continue to advance.

A total and a rate are different claims and the rate is the better one. Cumulative units tell you what has been built since the beginning, including everything built slowly. One robot per hour tells you the line works now, and it annualises to something you can plan against.

One an hour is also a specific and modest number, which is why it is credible. It is about eight thousand a year on a single shift — enough to matter, small enough to be a real manufacturing statement rather than a projection. Humanoid production claims have generally been the other kind.

The comparison the sector still avoids is retention. Units built and units deployed measure different things, and units still working after a year measures a third. Deployments are announced; withdrawals are not, and until enough pilots reach renewal the honest picture stays hidden.
