Figure Helix 02

Figure's 2026 full-body humanoid control model, mapping raw pixels directly to whole-body control for long-horizon tasks.

Figure AI released this in the US on January 27, 2026, as the successor to February 2025's Helix. The original Helix used a fast-slow two-system design to control the upper body; Helix 02 extends this to the whole robot, coordinating walking and manipulation together, and restructures it into three layers. System 2 understands the scene and language and sets behavioral goals; System 1 runs at 200Hz, mapping all sensor input directly into whole-body joint commands; a new System 0 runs at 1kHz with about 10 million parameters, trained on more than 1,000 hours of human motion data, and handles balance, contact, and whole-body coordination. On the hardware side, it adds palm cameras and fingertip touch sensing that can detect about 3 grams of force. In an official demo, it performed a 4-minute, fully autonomous, end-to-end task around a dishwasher made up of 61 separate loco-manipulation actions.

ExampleTaking a pill out of a blister pack, precisely dispensing 5 milliliters of liquid with a syringe, and unscrewing a bottle cap are all dexterous tasks Figure showed Helix 02 performing.
