Running, jumping, and flying: welcome to the future of robotics.


Figure’s latest AI system, Helix, is changing the game for humanoid robots by allowing them to perform complex tasks through simple voice commands—no training required. In a new demo, two robots successfully put away groceries by scanning their environment, adapting in real time, and even working together to complete the job. With plans for home testing in 2025 and new updates improving precision and reliability, Figure is pushing humanoid robots closer to practical, everyday use.
