Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Figure AI claims that its humanoid robots can now run full eight-hour shifts autonomously. The company's Helix-02 system allows humanoid robots to walk, manipulate objects, balance, and coordinate movement continuously using onboard sensors. It supports multi-robot collaboration. The unified neural network combines vision, touch, proprioception, and whole-body control into a single learning system designed for long-horizon tasks in dynamic environments. It enables robots to complete multi-minute tasks without resets or human intervention.
