"In a video released this week, the company's black-and-white android, dubbed Figure 02, can be seen seamlessly unloading a dishwasher and placing clean dishes in upper cabinets and drawers before loading dirty dishes back into it. It's an impressive demo. Certain human-like flourishes highlight how Helix 02 was relying on motion-captured training data, from using its foot to kick up the opened dishwasher door to bumping a drawer closed with its hip."
"The company claims in a press release that a "single neural system" can control the "full body directly from pixels, enabling dexterous, long horizon autonomy across an entire room." The dishwasher demonstration is a "four-minute, end-to-end autonomous task that integrates walking, manipulation, and balance with no resets and no human intervention," per Figure. "We believe this is the longest horizon, most complex task completed autonomously by a humanoid robot to date.""
Figure 02, a black-and-white humanoid android, autonomously unloads and reloads a dishwasher, placing clean dishes in upper cabinets and drawers. Helix 02 was trained on over 1,000 hours of human motion data and sim-to-real reinforcement learning. A single neural system controls the full body directly from pixels, integrating walking, manipulation, and balance in a four-minute, end-to-end autonomous task with no resets and no human intervention. Figure 02 has also demonstrated sorting packages, loading a washing machine, and folding laundry. Real-world performance in messier, more variable kitchens remains uncertain.
