Figure's Helix 2.5 tackles chores across 30 unseen homes
Figure just introduced Helix 2.5, showing its humanoid robots can walk into 30 unfamiliar homes and clean up without prior mapping or fine-tuning. Pretrained on massive human behavioral data, the model boosted zero-shot success rates from 9% to 56% across tasks like tidying toys, folding towels, and making beds. Why it matters: it proves whole-body physical intelligence can transfer from human experience rather than being trained from scratch per home.
