## What stands out

- Pixels-to-whole-body control over long horizons (first): One visuomotor network links every sensor (vision, touch, proprioception) to every actuator; unloaded and reloaded a dishwasher across a full kitchen in a 4-minute run with walking, manipulation and balance, no resets. Source: https://www.figure.ai/news/helix-02
- System 0 learned whole-body controller: New 10M-parameter S0 at 1 kHz trained on 1,000+ hours of retargeted human motion and 200,000+ parallel simulated environments, under S1 (200 Hz) and S2 (semantic reasoning). Source: https://www.figure.ai/news/helix-02
- Tactile and palm-camera policies: First Figure policies that depend on Figure 03's palm cameras and fingertip tactile sensing for occluded, delicate manipulation. Source: https://www.figure.ai/news/helix-02

## Notes

Figure: 'first demonstration of such long horizon, end-to-end pixels-to-whole body control on a humanoid robot' (company claim). Superseded by Helix 2.5 (2026-09-17). No external access.
