Project Go-Big: Internet-Scale Humanoid Pretraining and Direct Human-to-Robot Transfer

Figure AI announced Project Go-Big, an effort to build what it calls the largest and most diverse humanoid pretraining dataset, in partnership with real-estate investor Brookfield Asset Management. Alongside it, Figure said its Helix AI model learned to navigate cluttered real-world spaces from commands like "go to the fridge" after training only on egocentric video, footage shot from a person's own viewpoint, with no robot demonstrations involved. Figure calls this the first zero-shot transfer of human-video training to robot navigation, meaning Helix performed the task without robot-specific practice. Figure AI is a Parkway Venture Capital portfolio company.
