    Figure AI's Helix VLA model learns to load a dishwasher

    Figure AI announced that its VLA (vision-language-action) model Helix learned to load a dishwasher using only new data, without changing the algorithm or adding special engineering. Helix can separate stacked plates and load them in order, pick up a glass with one hand, reorient it, and carefully place it with the other hand; it can also handle cluttered starting states and recover from grasp failures or collisions. The same model previously completed towel-folding and package-sorting tasks, and the company says this reflects the direction of a single general system learning new capabilities incrementally with data.

    LimX Dynamics releases LimX DreamActor: a new embodied intelligence training paradigm combining Real2Sim2Real and real-robot reinforcement learning

    LimX Dynamics has introduced LimX DreamActor, an embodied intelligence training paradigm that for the first time deeply integrates Real2Sim2Real, imitation learning, and real-robot reinforcement learning into a full pipeline of "real-world environment data collection—simulation data pretraining—real-robot data post-training." The system can complete multi-view data collection using only a consumer-grade camera; through 3D reconstruction and physical parameter alignment it builds a highly realistic simulation scene, then uses a small amount of real-robot reinforcement learning to complete cross-domain transfer, aiming to improve sample efficiency, convergence speed, and deployment stability.

    Figure AI's Helix model achieves fully autonomous towel folding on a humanoid robot

    Figure AI's VLA model Helix fully autonomously folds towels, which the company says is the first time a multi-fingered humanoid robot has completed this task using an end-to-end neural network. With the architecture and training hyperparameters unchanged and only a new dataset added, it can pick items from a mixed towel pile, adjust its folding strategy based on the initial shape, correct multiple grasping errors, and untangle twisted towels using fine motions such as tracing edges with its thumb and pinching corners.

    Why it matters: The same model completes the towel-folding task with no architecture changes, relying only on added data, demonstrating a generalization path from logistics to deformable object manipulation.
