Crisped on the outside, thoughtful enough on the inside.
Summary
Figure AI has announced that its humanoid robots, powered by the Helix-02 AI system, have achieved over 24 hours of nonstop autonomous work — a milestone the company describes as "uncharted territory." The robots can self-diagnose issues and autonomously leave the work floor for maintenance, with other robots automatically taking over to maintain continuous operations. If the AI encounters unexpected situations, a system called Helix triggers an automatic reset.
