In a significant move in the AI world, California-based Figure has revealed Helix, a generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that unifies perception, language understanding, and learned control to overcome multiple longstanding challenges in robotics.

Fresh off its split from OpenAI, Figure AI's new model lets humanoid robots grab anything, work together, and respond to spoken commands.

Figure AI has announced Helix, a Vision-Language-Action (VLM) model that allows humanoid robots to perform complex tasks using natural language. This model marks progress in robotics, enabling robots to understand and react to instructions in real time, handle unforeseen objects, and collaborate.

OpenAI wants to get back into the development of humanoid robots. This is evident from a trademark application and job advertisements.
