## Summary

Figure AI has released Helix 02, extending control from the upper body to the entire humanoid robot and enabling continuous, integrated autonomous tasks combining locomotion and manipulation. It adds a new System 0 whole-body controller, trained on over 1,000 hours of human motion data and simulation-based reinforcement learning, which outputs joint commands at 1 kHz via a 10M-parameter network, replacing roughly 109,504 lines of hand-written C++ code; System 1 connects head-mounted vision, palm cameras, fingertip touch sensing, and proprioception, outputting whole-body joint targets at 200 Hz.
