Helix 02 | Is The Figure Bot Really Thinking?

Helix 02 | Is The Figure Bot Really Thinking?
Figure has released its Helix 02 AI stack alongside new demo videos, including a real-time dishwasher task. In this episode of @overthehorizon, Scott Walter, Gustav Andersson, and Mehrdad Farimani break down what the demo actually shows and why it stands out. We focus on the demo format, real-time footage with continuous audio, and the technical significance of whole-body coordination during a long-horizon task. The discussion highlights how the robot uses its legs, hips, and torso as part of manipulation, not just as a static base. The conversation also examines Helix 02’s control architecture, particularly the role of the S-0 layer and why pushing adaptive control closer to the hardware matters for robustness and dexterity. At the same time, we apply scepticism. We discuss what can and cannot be inferred from the video alone, the possible role of structured task sequencing, and what the use of plastic dishware suggests about current manipulation limits. This is a grounded, technical discussion of what Helix 02 demonstrates, without hype or assumptions. #FigureAI #Helix02 #HumanoidRobots #Robotics #PhysicalAI #Automation
