Figure Will Start ‘Alpha Testing’ Its Humanoid Robot in the Home in 2025 | Techcrunch
Figure is planning to bring its humanoids into the home sooner than expected. CEO Brett Adcock confirmed on Thursday that the Bay Area robotics startup will begin “alpha testing” its Figure 02 robot in the home setting, starting later in 2025. The executive says the accelerated timeline is a product of the company’s “generalist” Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, called Helix.
- This move marks a significant shift towards integrating humanoid robots into domestic environments, potentially addressing societal needs around aging and accessibility.
- As Figure's home testing enters its early stages, it remains to be seen how these systems will adapt to the complexities and variability of individual homes, and what implications this may have for their widespread adoption.
