RoboSelect360 analyst note
Helix AI is a genuine differentiator: task learning from video observation without manual reprogramming. Documented BMW Spartanburg pilot deployments. Figure 03 (successor) announced for consumer use with an improved embedded Helix model. Score limited by the absence of independently published field data.
