Figure AI has unveiled Helix, a new AI system designed to power humanoid robots with advanced movement capabilities. Helix aims to enable robots to perform complex tasks and handle unfamiliar objects through voice commands. The system combines a 7-billion-parameter multimodal language model, which acts as the robot's "brain" by processing speech and visual data, with an 80-million-parameter AI that translates these instructions into precise movements.
Helix can control 35 degrees of freedom, from individual finger movements to torso control. Demonstrations have showcased robots responding to voice commands, identifying objects, and grasping them accurately, even collaborating to place food items into a refrigerator without specific prior training. The system required only 500 hours of training data and runs on embedded GPUs within the robots.
Figure AI is also reportedly seeking $1.5 billion in funding, potentially valuing the company at $39.5 billion. This comes after the company ended its collaboration with OpenAI on robot-specific AI models, though OpenAI remains a significant investor. Figure CEO Brett Adcock believes Helix is crucial for scaling robots in household settings, allowing them to adapt to new situations without requiring constant reprogramming.
