Figure Unveils Helix 02 Humanoid Model With Full-Body Control

Figure unveiled Helix 02 on Jan. 27, 2026, a humanoid model controlled across its entire body by a single neural network. The company said Helix 02 completed autonomous, long-horizon tasks lasting about 4 minutes, such as loading and unloading a dishwasher in a kitchen.

For developers working with humanoid robots in homes and facilities, the important point is Figure’s demonstration that the robot could autonomously load and unload a dishwasher in one kitchen for about 4 minutes, controlling its whole body as a unit rather than switching between separate systems for walking, object manipulation and posture maintenance. Figure’s announcement specified inputs from head cameras, palm cameras, fingertip touch sensors and whole-body proprioception, with outputs controlling the legs, torso, arms and fingers. This sets out the conditions for continuing fine manual work while moving.
