Part 5/11:
At the core of Helix are two systems: S2—a slower, pre-trained vision language model which reasons through tasks—and S1, a rapid motor control system executing orders at an impressive 200 Hertz. This combination allows the robot to balance the benefits of comprehensive language understanding with immediate, responsive actions. Unlike previous methods, Helix's architecture offers a unique solution by separating slow and fast components to enhance overall capability, consolidating the breadth of functionalities within a unified system.
