Figure AI Helix blind walking controller
by Terrymiller: Tech
Figure AI has developed a walking controller called Helix that allows robots to navigate without relying on cameras. Instead, the system uses the robot's internal sensors and reinforcement learning to maintain balance. The controller was unveiled last year and enables the robot to stay upright even when stepping over obstacles like broken pallets. #Tech #AI

Figure's Humanoid Robot can now walk without cameras. Its new Helix Walking Controller, trained through reinforcement learning, makes walking smoother and more reliable. This breakthrough shows how the robot can rely on internal sensors instead of vision, marking another step toward creating robots that can move confidently in real-world environments.
