Figure AI launches eight-hour Helix-02 robot livestream

0

Figure AI launched an eight-hour livestream starting around 11 a.m. PT to show its Helix-02 humanoid robots running continuously at human speeds. The broadcast demonstrated full autonomy with zero human intervention as multiple units coordinated tasks and alternated between active work and charging stations to complete an uninterrupted shift.

Figure is going live around 11am PT today with an 8-hour livestream of our robots running at human speeds This will be fully autonomous on Helix-02 w/ zero human intervention The robots will work together to keep operations running nonstop I’ll share the link soon

I don't know enough about robotics to know if this is impressive. But I do think the set of robots standing in their chargers(?) look like you need a couple robot guards to keep an eye on the one robot doing their work.

@cloneofsimo correct me if im wrong but i think people are more pessimistic about figure specifically rather than robotics as a whole

Simo Ryu@cloneofsimo

People that are pessimistic on this video are the exact same people that were pessimistic on LLMs back in 2022 when they couldnt count r in strawberry or basic arithmetic You simply have no idea whats coming.

To be clear, I find this idea funny but most likely this is an artifact of imitation learning, not evidence of human in the current loop. This policy is clearly artificial in most other segments, and pretty janky. Helix is "spiritually" a teleoperator, if you will

Figure just live-streamed 8 hours of fully autonomous, unsupervised work

We just huddled internally - and guess what? We’re not stopping here

Few interesting details around the F.03 livestream:

> We previously showed this task running for 1 hour. Today we're pushing for 8 hours straight. High odds something breaks

> The use case is small package sorting. F.03 must detect the barcode, pick up the package, and reorient it barcode face-down onto the conveyor. The robots have to reason purely from camera pixels

> Humans average ~3 seconds per package. F.03 is now around human parity

> The robots are fully autonomous running Helix-02, our in-house neural network running entirely onboard F.03 (e.g. AI inference is done on device)

> Multiple humanoids are networked together and communicating with each other to maximize conveyor uptime. The system is designed to run 24/7

> A robot will work until battery is low (~3-4 hours), then autonomously request another robot to swap in to minimize conveyor downtime

> It's a multi-robot coordination with autonomous failover strategy. If a robot detects an issue - it will self diagnose itself and if there's an issue it autonomously walks to maintenance and requests a replacement from the fleet - no humans in the loop

@beffjezos Every time the robot does this turn it'll start raising its hand like this

Everyone who dunked on this saying it was VR headset adjustment is an idiot.
