Helix 2.5

Figure's newest foundation model for its humanoids, pretrained on Index, Figure's large dataset of recorded human activity. Figure says it learned whole-body chores such as tidying living rooms, folding towels and making beds, and did them zero-shot in 30 Bay Area homes it had never seen; adding Index pretraining lifted success from 9% to 56%.

F.04 (Figure 04)

Figure's next-generation humanoid, not yet launched. Gasgoo reported on 13 May 2026 that founder Brett Adcock said the F.04 design was finalized and component deliveries had begun, calling it the company's biggest leap between robot generations. Figure's own 30 Sep 2026 post refers to the upcoming F.04 launch. No specifications, price or launch date have been published.

Helix 02

Figure's whole-body AI model: a single neural system that controls walking, balance and manipulation directly from camera pixels on Figure 03. In Figure's demo it unloaded and reloaded a dishwasher in a four-minute, end-to-end autonomous task with 61 loco-manipulation actions. Figure says Helix 02 also coordinates Figure 03's logistics work at BMW Spartanburg.
