I don’t know about you but I’d love to get my hands on a robot that can do my laundry, clean my home, set up my appliances, and do other basis tasks. The NEO Gamma is designed for that. It is a smart humanoid robot with a knit suit that is soft to touch and flexible. It can help you with tidying and deep cleaning tasks.
AI is revolutionizing the way robots work. Figure is using the Helix AI to allow robots to reason like humans. As you can see in the below video, it is possible for you to tell a robot to put away items they have not seen by using their AI. In this case, these 2 robots were able to work together to transfer a bunch of items into the refrigerator
Meet Helix, our in-house AI that reasons like a human
Robotics won’t get to the home without a step change in capabilities

Removing graffiti is not always straight forward. Some people manage to leave them in hard to reach areas. Aquiline Drones are designed to handle this. The Spartacus Endure has low and high pressure systems, so it can be used to spray crops and even deal with graffiti. You simply have to change its payload to adapt it to new missions.
Here is a robot hand that enables humanoid robots to lift dumbbells and other heavy items. The MagicHand S01 is a 11DOF robot hand with force-position control and tactile sensors to grab and handle objects of varying shapes and sizes. It can grasp, hold, and use dual fingers to handle objects with agility. It has max load capacity of up to 5kg. In work environments, MagicHand S01 can carry loads of over 20kg.
