Figure AI has announced Helix, a Vision-Language-Action (VLM) model that enables humanoid robots to perform complex tasks using natural language.
The Helix model allows robots to understand and react to instructions in real time, handle unforeseen objects, and collaborate.
Helix is a System 1, System 2 VLA model for high-rate, dexterous control of the entire humanoid upper body.
With Helix, Figure AI aims to solve general robotics and create robots that can understand speech, reason through problems, and grasp objects without training or code.
