Key takeaways
- The most recent headlines show a surge of activity around humanoid robots.
- In early May, Figure AI unveiled a video of two of its Helix 02 humanoids making a bed together, highlighting new training that lets the robots open doors, push furniture and drape clothing, though the company has not announced a consumer launch date.
- Figure AI, valued at $39 billion, is racing against rivals such as Tesla’s Optimus and other emerging makers.
- At the same time, Genesis AI introduced its GENE‑26.5 “brain,” a foundation model paired with a human‑hand‑shaped robotic gripper that it says overcomes the data bottleneck that has limited dexterous manipulation, allowing robots to perform tasks previously possible only with human hands.
- The company demonstrated the system on both Intel and NVIDIA hardware and is building a massive “human skill library” from egocentric video and internet footage to train the model.

Why robots struggled before this AI brain
Robots have lacked usable training data for physical tasks. "Robots have always had a data problem," Gervet said. "When you think about the AI chatbots you use on your computer, they have the entire internet to access."
Robots did not have that advantage. "The big problem comes from the fact that unless the robot's hand exactly matches a human's hand, any information you capture about how human hands move won't translate well," Gervet said. #### SIM swap scam drained Florida woman's bank account in minutes
