Figure has upgraded its AI system, Helix, to its most advanced full-body control version, Helix 02, enabling humanoid robots to manage walking, manipulation, and balance simultaneously.

Unlike earlier models limited to upper-body tasks, Helix 02 uses a single neural network to process raw sensor data for coordinated, human-like motion.

In a demonstration, the robot autonomously unloaded and reloaded a dishwasher across a kitchen without resets or human input.

The system replaces complex hand-coded controls with learned behaviors, achieving new levels of robotic dexterity, Interesting Engineering has reported.

Helix builds on Figure’s February 2025 generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, integrating perception, language, and control to advance robotics.
