They ran the experiment over in Sunnyvale, California, using three robots, and they managed to sort 249,560 packages in total without a single hardware failure. During the testing, the bots were running on their Helix-02 neural network system, which basically gives them full autonomous control over their body movements. The system was doing everything completely on its own, like identifying barcodes, picking up packages, scanning them, and placing them where they needed to go, all in about 2.83 seconds on average. They even did a 10-hour competition on May 17th where a robot went head-to-head with a human, and it barely lost. The human intern sorted 12,924 units, while the F.03 got through 12,732. The difference in their average speed was literally just 0.04 seconds, which shows how incredibly efficient these things are getting. This whole demonstration feels like a pretty big shift from those short lab videos we’re used to seeing to actual, full-on industrial use. Figure AI is planning to scale up production to 1 million units a year so they can deploy these as a universal workforce in logistics centers and warehouses. According to the company’s management, the level of autonomy they’re getting with the Helix-02 system is the defining step toward getting these things out there commercially on a mass scale.
