Figure AI Demos Helix Controller for Camera-Free Humanoid Walking

Figure AI has released video footage of its Figure 02 humanoid robot walking over obstacles using a new locomotion system called the Helix walking controller. According to the company’s description in the video posts, Helix is trained with reinforcement learning and enables the robot to walk without input from cameras, relying instead on internal sensors to maintain balance and avoid hazards. The demonstration shows the system achieving what the firm describes as “near-superhuman” performance in stability and reliability. Helix forms part of Figure AI’s broader Vision-Language-Action architecture, which integrates perception, language understanding and motor control to coordinate whole-body movement.

This robot has got some moves! 🕺🏼 Helix is @Figure_robot new walking controller, part of its broader Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architecture. It fuses perception, language, and action to coordinate whole-body movement. What’s new: stability and reliability. @adcock_brett https://t.co/p8EshboaMc
