Figure 02 Does the Laundry

In a quiet yet groundbreaking moment, Figure 02, one of the world’s most advanced humanoid robots, was recently captured autonomously doing laundry in the home of Figure CEO Brett Adcock. More than just a PR stunt, this real-world deployment marks a major milestone in the evolution of domestic robotics.

What sets this demonstration apart is not just the task itself, but the intelligence behind it. Figure 02 is powered by Helix, Figure’s proprietary AI model designed entirely in-house. Helix gives the robot the ability to perceive its environment, understand context, plan multi-step tasks, and execute with remarkable precision, all without human intervention.

From sorting clothes and loading a washer to operating controls and transferring laundry to a dryer, Figure 02 showcased capabilities that go beyond pre-programmed movements. It navigated a dynamic home environment, adapted to unexpected variables, and completed the chore with fluid, human-like motion.

This isn’t just about laundry. It’s a signal that general-purpose humanoid robots are crossing the threshold from research labs and controlled environments into real homes, performing useful, everyday tasks. For homeowners and families, it’s a glimpse into what a near-future lifestyle might look like: a world where robots like Figure 02 become practical assistants that help manage daily responsibilities.

As Brett Adcock’s personal home becomes a testbed for the next wave of robotics, the industry watches closely. One thing is clear, Figure isn’t just building robots. They’re building the infrastructure for a new way of living. View more information about the Figure 02 HouseBot here.
