🤖 Figure 03 Live 8-Hr Shift, Humanoid x Schaeffler, Neuralink Surgical Bot | RoboBrief May 15

Today's robotics briefing covers three big stories:

1. 📦 Figure 03 Pulls an 8-Hour Live Shift — Figure AI quietly turned on a YouTube live stream and let three Figure 03 humanoids (Gary, Bob, Frank) sort packages on a conveyor for 8+ hours, hands-off, powered by the new Helix-02 unified neural network. ~1 package every 3 seconds. Over 2M viewers tuned in.

2. 🏭 Humanoid x Schaeffler — Thousands of HMND 01s — UK startup Humanoid signs a binding deployment deal with Schaeffler to put a four-digit number of HMND 01 Alpha wheeled robots into Schaeffler factories worldwide by 2032. First systems live in Germany this year. Built in 7 months on NVIDIA Jetson Thor.

3. 🧠 Neuralink — Automating Neurosurgery — Neuralink's updated R1 surgical robot uses 8 cameras and OCT scanners to thread sub-hair electrodes into living, moving brain tissue. Musk says the next version reaches any region of the brain — and removes the need to open the dura at all.
