Check out these robotic pals, powered by the new Helix generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, as they tackle the not-so-rushed task of putting away groceries—very, very slowly. Watching them carefully pick up each item and deliberate on where it belongs in the fridge is like watching two stoned roommates trying to remember where the milk goes. One commenter under the Youtube video nailed it: “When you ask your two stoned roommates to put away the groceries.”
With the brains of advanced AI running in the background and the speed of a sloth enjoying a coffee break, these robots offer a rather amusing look at the future of automation. Watch the video to see how they eventually, albeit slowly, get the job done!
