Figure 02 Just Loaded the Dishwasher
Figure’s humanoid Figure 02 just completed a full, end-to-end dishwasher-loading task on its own—seeing messy dishes, planning grasps, opening racks, placing items, and closing up—another household milestone after recent laundry and washer-loading demos. It’s a small chore with big implications for general-purpose robotics in the home.
From Folding Laundry to Redefining Home Life: The First Real Use Cases for a HouseBot
When most people imagine humanoid robots, the vision tends to swing between science fiction fantasy and industrial utility. But the first frontier where humanoids will quietly, and profoundly, enter our lives is far closer to home: folding laundry, loading the dishwasher, vacuuming floors, and tidying spaces.
These are not trivial tasks. They are repetitive, time-consuming, and yet essential to daily life. And they represent exactly the type of “structured chaos” humanoids are uniquely suited to handle, environments where objects vary slightly, but the end goals remain consistent.
Figure AI’s Workforce-Grade Humanoids: Premium Value in Industry
