On RoboStrategy, Figure’s CEO outlines four chapters for humanoid robotics, explains the limits of Helix 2.5 and teases a major Figure 04 redesign.
Figure reports 56% full-task success for Helix 2.5 across 30 unfamiliar homes, testing whether human-data pretraining transfers to household chores.
New details from BMW and Figure AI reveal that while the Spartanburg pilot was a cultural and operational success, the "brute force" architecture of the Figure 02 was insufficient for global scaling.
In a revealing interview with Peter Diamandis, Figure CEO Brett Adcock details the total removal of hand-engineered code, the launch of his new AI lab HARK, and the timeline for robots building robots at Figure’s "BotQ" facility.
After Sunday Robotics CEO Tony Zhao critiqued Figure’s dishwasher demonstration for only using plastic, Figure CEO Brett Adcock responded with a new video of the Figure 03 handling delicate glassware.
Figure AI has revealed Helix 02, a unified neural network model that enables the Figure 03 robot to navigate and manipulate environments simultaneously, moving past the "walk-then-act" limitations of traditional humanoid systems.
Humanoid robotics firm Figure has launched a massive data collection initiative, 'Project Go-Big,' aiming to create an 'internet-scale' pretraining dataset by capturing human video in real-world homes. The project, accelerated by a partnership with real estate giant Brookfield, has already enabled Figure's robot to learn navigation from human video alone.
Humanoid robotics firm Figure has announced a strategic partnership with asset manager Brookfield, gaining access to a vast portfolio of real estate to create a massive real-world training dataset for its Helix AI model and accelerate commercial deployment.
Figure AI has released a 60-minute, uninterrupted video of its Figure 02 humanoid performing logistics work, calling it 'the most boring video we've ever posted.' The demonstration is meant to showcase endurance and the significant performance gains from their updated Helix AI, which now incorporates temporal memory and force feedback.
Following a viral new demo, Figure CEO Brett Adcock took the stage at Bloomberg Tech to detail the company's aggressive strategy. He emphasized the necessity of end-to-end AI for real-world tasks, confirmed a second logistics partner, and confidently outlined a path to manufacturing 100,000 robots within four years.
