Helix Loads the Dishwasher

This post demonstrates that the existing Helix VLA model, previously used for folding laundry and rearranging packages, can learn to load a dishwasher with only new data. This includes singulating stacked plates, reorienting and placing glasses with precision, adapting to messy starting configurations, and recovering from errors like misgrasps or collisions. The key technical takeaway is the model's ability to acquire new, complex manipulation capabilities through data alone, highlighting the scalability of its general-purpose architecture.
