Figure is set to begin home trials of its humanoid robot, Figure 02, in late 2025, significantly ahead of schedule. This acceleration is attributed to the development of Helix, an advanced Vision-Language-Action model that enhances the robot's adaptability and functionality. CEO Brett Adcock announced this timeline shift, emphasizing the rapid progress of their AI technology.
Helix introduces sophisticated control for upper-body manipulation, allowing robots to perform complex tasks and interact with various objects. The model's ability to work with multiple robots simultaneously and understand natural language commands marks a significant leap in robotics. Figure's focus on real-world applications and industrial partnerships positions it as a leader in the evolving landscape of humanoid robotics.
• Figure's Helix model enhances humanoid robot adaptability and functionality.
• Home trials for Figure 02 robot are set to begin in late 2025.
