@interestingengineering: Figure founder Brett Adcock has posted video of the company's humanoid climbing 15 feet up a ladder and 15 feet back down with no human input, three weeks after its first autonomous ladder climb. Figure credits its Helix AI system, whose System 0 layer runs balance and contact control a thousand times a second using stereo camera vision alongside the robot's own sense of body position. Figure has not released the technical details and the demonstration has not been independently verified.
