Figure's humanoid robots will take on your household chores this year


Figure is leveling up its humanoid robot business far more rapidly than any other robotics company I can think of right now. CEO Brett Adcock just announced it plans to begin alpha testing its robots in the home sometime in 2025 – that's two years ahead of schedule.

Yesterday, Figure said Helix had been updated to enable faster and more precise motion, so its bots could take on package handling and sorting tasks – a key capability that would make them useful in warehouses. The San Francisco-based firm showed its Neo Gamma robot cleaning, serving food, and carrying groceries in a video last week. Abhimanyu has been a trusted voice in the science, technology, transport innovations, startup and AI spaces for more than a decade at several global outlets, including three and a half years as the managing editor at TNW.
