Target markets: Figure AI robot development teams and customers evaluating Figure humanoids for physical work.
Deployment model: Platform-integrated model layer running on Figure robots rather than a standalone third-party software product.
Object manipulation - Demonstrated - 2026-05-08 - Figure published an official Helix 02 bedroom-tidy demo showing its humanoid system performing a household soft-object manipulation task. - source: figure.ai
Fabric smoothing and folding - Demonstrated - 2025-08-16 - On 16 August 2025, Figure 02 continued folding laundry while a person raised the worktable, and Helix adapted to the changing height in real time. - source: abertoatedemadrugada.com
Deformable-object manipulation - Research demonstration - 2026-09-17 - One base model produced three behaviours - tidying a living room, folding towels and making a bed - spanning locomotion, rigid and deformable manipulation, bimanual coordination and active perception. - source: figure.ai
