Robot vet with 2 billion picks live-streams real parcel induction at 2,200-2,400/hour, dwarfing Figure's 1,200/hour humanoid demo

Erik Nieves, who has deployed industrial robots for 35 years — two billion picks across 200+ deployments — responded to Figure's live-streamed humanoid doing parcel induction at 1,200/hour by running his own stream to show what a truly entitled workload looks like.
- His deployed system hit 2,200-2,400 items per hour in bulk flow with a full SKU mix.
- His point: the gap between a demo and an entitled (contractually guaranteed) workload is the whole conversation in robotics.
- The stream is available at cobot-deployed.com (Deployed EP13).
