Figure's new humanoid robot to take over chores, HK launches ChatGPT-style AI tool powered by DeepSeek

Imagine a world where humanoid robots live among us and handle all your household chores, from laundry to dishes to tidying up.

What seemed like a pipe dream in the past could now be close to reality with Figure's new humanoid robot Helix, which can see the environment, understand verbal commands, and interact with the real world.

Unlike traditional robots that require extensive programming for each function, Helix uses a generalist AI model that allows it to perform tasks it was never trained to do.

As Figure prepares to test these robots in homes, how should we harness these powerful capabilities? What risks should be considered before letting robots take over our daily tasks?
