Dishwasher-Loading Humanoids

The Figure 02 Robot Can Autonomously Fill the Dishwasher

AI robotics are advancing rapidly, especially in industrial settings, yet people at home feel left behind and unsupported when it comes to tackling the chores they dread—but a solution may be on the horizon with the Figure 02 humanoid robot.

Helix, Figure’s AI-powered Vision Language Action model, has learned to load a dishwasher. Unloading a dishwasher involves surprisingly complex movements and requires precise coordination to carefully handle each dish without causing damage or disruption. Helix can now successfully pick up a glass with one hand, reorient it, adjust its strategy to account for messy configurations, recover from misgrasps and collisions, and stack plates in an orderly manner.

With AI robotics innovations like this, Figure advances its mission to enhance life at home with general-purpose learning humanoid robots.
