US-based robotics startup Figure AI has unveiled its most capable humanoid robot, Helix 02. This AI-powered robot is designed to perform daily household tasks like cleaning rooms, doing dishes, and organizing things around the house. According to the company, Helix 02 runs on a unified neural system that allows it to complete tasks like cleaning an entire living room without human intervention.

The company stated that Helix 02 is capable of managing household chores, including multi-step activities like cleaning rooms, unloading dishes, and organizing things in different parts of the house. In a video demonstration shared online, the robot can be seen roaming around a living room, picking up items from a table, putting them back in their designated place, and organizing the space without step-by-step instructions.

This humanoid also caught the attention of Tesla boss Elon Musk, who is also developing humanoid robots through Tesla's Optimus project. In his post on X, Musk asked whether the robot was operating autonomously or remotely controlled, to which Figure CEO Brett Adcock explained that the humanoid was developed to operate "completely autonomously."

How does Helix 02 work?
Unlike many older robots that use separate systems for walking and handling objects, Helix 02 relies on a single neural network to control its entire body. According to the company, this helps overcome the challenge of "loco-manipulation," allowing the robot to walk, balance, and interact with objects simultaneously.

Helix 02 uses multiple sensory inputs, including a vision system, tactile sensors, and proprioception, which allows it to understand the position and movement of its limbs. According to the information received, all this information is processed by a unified AI model that controls its actions, allowing the robot to understand its surroundings and respond in real time.

The robot also has a palm-mounted camera and tactile sensors in its fingers, allowing it to recognize and grasp objects, even if they are slightly obscured or cluttered. According to the company, these sensors help the robot determine how tightly to grasp objects, allowing it to handle even delicate household items.

In addition to organizing rooms, Helix 02 can also perform other household tasks, such as putting away dishes, doing laundry, and rearranging household items—tasks that typically require mobility and speed. In a post accompanying the demonstration, Figer said the robot is designed so that when users leave their homes, the system can reset the space exactly as they want it.

Helix 02 Training
According to the company, the Helix 02 uses an AI model trained on over 1,000 hours of human motion data, reducing the need for large amounts of handwritten control software. This training helps the robot develop more natural and stable movements, allowing it to adjust to different situations rather than relying on fixed, pre-programmed actions.
