FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-09-22
Figure released Helix 2.5 and rented 30 real apartments in the San Francisco Bay Area to test its humanoid robots.
- Robots entered homes they had never seen and performed household chores with zero additional training (zero-shot)
- Figure published roughly 4 hours of full test footage covering performance across all 30 homes, rather than only edited success clips
It marks a shift from fixed-scene demos toward real work in unfamiliar environments.
