Fenceless means the cage around an industrial robot comes down, and people can share the space while the machine is working. That holds only when a safety system does: power and force limiting, speed and separation monitoring, or another control a risk assessment actually accepts.
This record follows humanoids, cobots, and mobile robots that public sources describe that way. The counts are rows in this repository, not a live feed from a factory.

BMW Group says Figure 03 will start sorting parts into sequencing trolleys at Plant Spartanburg after the Figure 02 body-shop work. The release says this generation adds soft components designed for enhanced safety.

Agility Robotics says Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes at GXO's Flowery Branch facility. The post treats that run as evidence of safe human-robot teaming and does not name a third-party safety certificate.

Figure says Figure 02 robots worked weekday shifts at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg for 11 months, logging 1,250+ hours and loading 90,000+ parts toward 30,000+ X3 vehicles. Figure says it was retiring Figure 02 after the Figure 03 release.

People and the robot can occupy the same area while the robot is powered. The cell is what becomes fenceless. A sticker on the arm does not do that by itself.
02
ISO 10218 andISO/TS 15066 describe monitored stop, hand guiding,speed and separation monitoring, and power and force limiting.
03
A cobot, a humanoid, or a mobile robot can need a fence again once a sharp tool, a heavy part, or an unrated motion is added. Listings quote the source. They are not a permit to remove guarding.
