Figure humanoid robots organize room, hang clothes, and make bed without humans
SMRTR summary
Two humanoid robots nodding to each other as they make a bed might sound like science fiction, but that's exactly what US robotics firm Figure just demonstrated.
In a video released this week, two of the company's humanoids autonomously reset a bedroom in under two minutes, hanging up a coat, closing a laptop, repositioning furniture, and jointly smoothing out a comforter, all without a shared controller or direct communication between them.
Each robot relied solely on its onboard cameras, reading the environment and inferring the other's intentions purely through observed movement.
The trickiest part? The comforter itself. Unlike rigid objects, the shifting, stretching fabric had no predictable shape or grip points, forcing both robots to constantly adapt in real time.
Figure also upgraded its Helix AI model, giving the robots visual terrain awareness for the first time, allowing them to navigate stairs and uneven surfaces by combining sight with physical sensation.
