Figure announced the release of Helix 2.5, a new version of its robot control system. The company said it rented 30 homes in the Bay Area and that its robots arrived at those locations without additional training and began performing useful work.

The post gives no detail on which tasks were performed, how long the deployments ran, success rates, or whether homeowners were present. Figure did not disclose the cost of the rentals or any commercial terms. The claim rests entirely on the company's own account of the trial.
