In the early hours of Wednesday morning Beijing time, the American robotics startup FigureAI released a short video announcing that the company’s robots had learned to do a second job:Arrange express delivery in the logistics center. As a brief introduction, the company released its latest humanoid robot Figure02 in August last year. At that time, it was stated that the robot was already engaged in car assembly work on <spanid=usstock_BMWYY> BMW's assembly line, such as inserting sheet metal parts into specific devices.



With the launch of the self-developed large-scale robot model Helix, humanoid robots have become more proficient in "stealing jobs". The company stated,It previously took 12 months to arrange suitable jobs for robots at the BMW factory, but it only took 30 days to develop the second "robot working" case.

The video released by FigureAI shows,The robot can identify, grab and logically place parcels. Of course, there is still a visible gap between the efficiency of robots and efficient human sorters.


The company announced,The feasibility of this robotic process was verified at the customer's site last Sunday.

According to FigureAI, through the terminal-side video stream, the onboard HelixAI model will guide the robot to find and scan the barcode on the express package.


Helix is ​​the first Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that enables high-frequency, continuous control of the entire upper body of a humanoid robot, including head, torso, wrists and fingers.

In a demonstration unveiled last week, Helix-powered robots can now identify and pick up nearly any small household item based on natural language instructions, including thousands of items the robot has never seen.
