Two Figure Humanoids Equipped With Helix-02 Demonstrate Collaborative Bedroom Cleanup

On May 8, 2026, Figure released a demo showing two Helix-02-equipped humanoids tidying a bedroom in less than 2 minutes. Working together, they opened and closed a door, hung clothes on hangers, put away headphones, closed a book, took out the trash, pushed a chair under a machine and made a bed. They operate using a single trained Vision-Language-Action policy. Each robot perceives the room through its own cameras and infers the other robot’s intentions from its movements alone. There is no shared planner, message passing or central coordinator. Figure said the robots learned whole-body cooperative tasks—including opening and closing doors, pushing furniture, manipulating fabric and operating a pedal while balancing on one leg—by adding data without changing the core algorithm.

For those deploying work robots in places where people and objects are constantly moving, such as homes and warehouses, the key question is not just whether each robot can perform individual tasks skillfully, but whether it can keep working while adapting in real time to another robot’s movements in the same space. Figure said a single trained controller, without shared planning or central control, could learn tasks such as opening doors, pushing furniture and jointly manipulating deformable objects such as bedding simply by adding training data. The company’s demo illustrates specific requirements for operating multiple robots.
