Figure officially announced Helix 2.5, the new version of its generalist humanoid robot foundation model.
The team rented 30 real homes in the Bay Area, and the robots arrived without any additional training and immediately started doing useful work. The zero-shot deployment into unseen homes is meant to demonstrate Helix 2.5's generalization in real domestic environments.
