Скачать или смотреть FUTURE of Laundry: Figure AI Fast-Tracks Humanoid Robot Push Into Homes (Real Life Jetsons!)

Figure AI, a perceived leader in the international race to bring smart robotics to the masses, is accelerating its push to get its AI-powered humanoids into households.

The unicorn startup says its self-developed Helix AI model that powers industrial applications can now accomplish the most dreaded domestic tasks, especially on laundry day. If Figure’s robots can crack laundry, it signals that almost any other task could follow.

The unicorn startup says its self-developed Helix AI model that powers industrial applications can now accomplish the most dreaded domestic tasks, especially on laundry day. Laundry is the perfect storm of boring for humans, and brutal for robots.

For most people, folding a tee shirt is so routine , they do it without thinking. For robots, every garment is a unique puzzle. Unlike rigid objects like cups and boxes, clothing has no fixed shape, flops around, and changes based on how it's grabbed.

Real-world chaos like clothes tangling, socks hiding inside sleeves, and fabric bunching unexpectedly makes computer vision and grasp planning far harder than picking up a box in a warehouse.

The international race toward super intelligence has reignited interest in full lifecycle laundry automation.
