What it does

Helix, from Figure AI, is a Vision-Language-Action model for full upper-body humanoid control. Zero-shot generalization to new objects & tasks. Runs on embedded GPUs.

Figure was founded with the ambition to change the world.

We're introducing Helix, a generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that unifies perception, language understanding, and learned control to overcome multiple longstanding challenges in robotics. Helix is a series of firsts: Full-upper-body control : Helix is the first VLA to output high-rate continuous control of the entire humanoid upper body, including wrists, torso, head, and individual fingers. Multi-robot collaboration : Helix is the first VLA to operate simultaneously on two robots, enabling them to solve a shared, long-horizon manipulation task with items they have never seen before. Pick up anything: Figure robots equipped with Helix can now pick up virtually any small…from figure.ai

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave.
