Home humanoids demonstrate selected chores
Figure reports autonomous tidying, towel folding and bed making across 30 previously unseen homes. Early home-robot products still use remote help for some tasks; general elder care remains a separate milestone.

Sources & evidence
- Figure: Helix 2.5 in 30 unseen homes 2026-09-17
Figure reports three chore behaviors tested in 30 unseen homes and 56% full-task success for its pretrained policy. The report counts safety interventions as failures. This is evidence of improving capability, not reliable general elder care or household adoption.
- Figure: Helix 02 full-body autonomy 2026-01-27
Figure reports an uninterrupted four-minute kitchen task combining walking, balance and dishwasher manipulation without human intervention. A narrow autonomous demonstration does not establish all household tasks.
- 1X: NEO early access and Expert Mode
1X advertises basic autonomy, scheduled remote expert help for unfamiliar tasks, a $20,000 early-access purchase and planned US deliveries beginning in 2026. The page does not establish completed delivery, general autonomy, affordability or elder-care reliability.
