Overview
- Figure AI turned an eight-hour package-sorting trial into a continuous livestream that cleared 24 hours and later topped 30 hours with a three-robot rotation.
- The company says its Helix-02 system runs entirely on the robot, using cameras, touch sensors, and a learned whole‑body controller with no remote operator.
- Robots swapped out when their batteries dropped after roughly three to four hours and, if issues arose, walked to maintenance while another unit took over.
- CEO Brett Adcock said speeds neared human rates at about three seconds per package, though viewers saw brief pauses, occasional resets, and a few placement errors.
- A robotics expert called the showing impressive yet not deployment-ready, a caution that places Figure’s push alongside rivals like Tesla and Agility and past trials at BMW.
