1X

1X develops humanoid robots designed to work alongside people. Its current focus is NEO, a home assistant for everyday activities such as moving objects, cleaning and voice interaction. A soft outer covering and tendon-driven actuators are part of its design for the home. In Early Access, autonomy is limited to learned capabilities. For unfamiliar or complex tasks, Expert Mode allows a 1X specialist to remotely guide the robot at a scheduled time. Learning a new task can therefore involve a person rather than fully automatic execution. The company previously developed EVE, a wheeled humanoid for industrial facilities. NEO takes a different direction with a bipedal design and learning in living spaces.
