Figure's Helix robot demo slammed as misleading: camera cuts away before tasks finish
RexDouglass · x · 2026-09-23
RexDouglass amplified @yishan's critique of Figure's Helix demo video: despite the claim that "you just saw Helix do three tasks in this home," the camera cuts away before any task successfully completes, and the footage reportedly spans 30 rented homes with bedsheets slightly pulled back. The critics stress they want Figure to succeed but found the video "anti-convincing."
