Helix is an innovative vision-language-action model designed for general-purpose control of humanoid robots. It addresses several long-standing challenges in robotic manipulation in complex environments by combining visual perception, language understanding, and action control. Key advantages of Helix include strong generalization capabilities, efficient data utilization, and a single neural network architecture that eliminates the need for task-specific fine-tuning. The model aims to provide robots in home environments with on-the-fly behavior generation capabilities, enabling them to handle unseen objects. The emergence of Helix marks a significant step forward in robotics' ability to adapt to everyday life scenarios.
