    Tianlian Robotics uses video learning to teach robots advanced motion

    Tianlian Robotics has published a video imitation learning training pipeline: extract reference motions with GVHMR/TRAM (or use motion capture datasets such as AMASS), then after human-to-robot joint mapping and training a motion orientation model, use PPO reinforcement learning in simulation with curriculum learning to progress from static poses to long-sequence complex motions, then optimize through domain randomization before deploying to the real robot, with fine-tuning via residual reinforcement learning or adaptive gains. The company says it has achieved key breakthroughs in dynamic force-control precision and stability, and that motions can also be reproduced in real robotic arm operation.

    Estun Codroid 02 humanoid robot and new robotic arms debut at Shanghai CIIF

    Estun Codroid showcased its second-generation humanoid robot Codroid 02 embodied-intelligence industrial application solution and three new robotic arms with payloads of 7KG, 12KG, and 16KG at the 2025 Shanghai CIIF. Codroid 02 stands 170cm tall and weighs 70kg, has 31 degrees of freedom (excluding dexterous hands), and has a single-arm payload of up to 5 kilograms. On site it demonstrated a full-process industrial scenario from workpiece loading, code scanning, and assembly to intelligent handling. High-precision 3D scanning, automatic machine tool monitoring, and intelligent welding technology requiring no manual teaching were also shown.

    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.

    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.
