Humanoid Robot Autonomously Loads Dishes Into a Dishwasher Without Breaking Anything

Robotics company Figure demonstrated how their Helix humanoid robot can autonomously load dishes into a dishwasher without breaking or damaging anything.

Today we’re unveiling F.02 loading the dishwasher autonomously

The robot utilizes a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model to process verbal requests, respond, and proceed in general and logistical tasks, such as folding laundry, loading the dishwasher, and sorting packages.

Helix can also put away groceries in their proper place.
