# Tidy Home Humanoids Helix 02 by Figure Can Now Clean the Living Room By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2026-03-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helix-02-by-figure References: [figure.ai](https://www.figure.ai/news/helix-02-living-room-tidy)  As the capacities of AI robotics expand, what many people are hopeful about is a solution that can take on tedious, draining tasks and give them back time for the things that actually matter—and Helix 02 by [Figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helix-02-bedroom-tidy), the AI robotics company's most capable [humanoid model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1x-neo) to date, can now clean the living room. Touching on some of the challenges of making whole-body, end-to-end [living room cleanup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onero-h1) possible, Figure said, "But from a robotics perspective, this task is incredibly difficult. Unlike more structured commercial tasks, a living room changes constantly. Objects are scattered unpredictably. Furniture creates narrow navigation paths. Soft items like towels and pillows behave dynamically." Helix 02 can now use a spray bottle to wet a dirty surface and wipe the surface, toss pillows back onto the couch, reorient remotes, reorganize tools in motion, and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 70% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Domestic Robotics Adoption:** Growing acceptance of humanoid cleaners points to new household service models that replace repetitive manual chores with autonomous systems. - **Adaptive Manipulation:** Advances in compliant grippers and dynamic object handling enable robots to interact reliably with soft, irregular, and moveable items in unstructured environments. - **Perception-driven Navigation:** Improved scene understanding and real-time mapping allow machines to traverse cluttered, reconfigurable living spaces while avoiding delicate objects and narrow passages. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Cleaning Services:** Automated humanoid cleaners could transform business models from hourly labor to on-demand robotics subscriptions with remote monitoring and scheduling. - **Consumer Electronics:** Integrating advanced sensors, actuation, and AI into household robotics creates opportunities for modular, upgradeable devices that converge smart-home ecosystems. - **Elder Care and Assisted Living:** Robots capable of tidying, object retrieval, and gentle manipulation may change daily assistance paradigms by supporting independence and reducing caregiver strain. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dishwasher-Loading Humanoids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figure-02.md) - [Humanoid Tote-Handling Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digit-at-toyota.md) - [Factory-Ready Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boston-dynamics-atlas.md) - [Hospitality-Focused Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanoid-robot-1.md) - [Innovative Robotic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineai-robotics.md) - [Next-Gen Embodied Intelligence Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embodied-intelligence.md) - [Interactive Robotic Demonstrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-robotic-demonstrations.md) - [Autonomous Humanoid Assembly Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeon-robots.md) - [Comprehensive Tactile Sensing Infrastructure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactile-sensing-infrastructure.md)
