Unlike LLMs, we can’t scrape the internet for robot data
Announcing Project Go-Big: we’re building the world's largest humanoid pretraining dataset
This is accelerated by our partnership with Brookfield, who owns over 100,000 residential units
Helix is now learning directly from human video data
We have already trained on data collected in the real world, including Brookfield residential units
To our knowledge, this is the first instance of a humanoid robot learning navigation end-to-end using only human video

Today we're introducing our next generation humanoid battery for F.03
Like our actuators, vertically integrating our battery system is critical to Figure’s success
Engineered in-house and manufactured at BotQ
Advancements across 3 generations of battery technology has resulted in:
→ 78% cheaper
→ Higher safety and reliability
→ 2kW fast charge with active cooling
→ Significant energy density improvements

Introducing learned natural walking
Figure can now walk naturally like a human
Years of data was trained in simulation in just a few hours
We are excited to introduce our end-to-end neural network, trained with reinforcement learning (RL), for humanoid locomotion
Below we will dive into engineering our robots to walk like humans, the training process in simulation, and how we zero-shot to the real robot

Meet Helix, our in-house AI that reasons like a human
Robotics won't get to the home without a step change in capabilities
Our robots can now handle virtually any household item:
Figure has built Helix entirely in-house and end-to-end
Our robots equipped with Helix can now pick up virtually any household object without any code or prior training
Helix uses a single set of neural network weights to learn all behaviors
