  1. Figure AI60

    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.
