People often ask when will humanoid robots be ready for household chores? While many robotics experts take a long view on the topic, 1X
Technologies AS today unveiled the NEO Beta prototype of its humanoid as it prepares for pilot deployments in select homes later this year.
The company has been working on humanoids for more than a decade and has been an innovator since the introduction of the EVE robot, a predecessor to NEO, in 2017. Earlier this year, 1X then added members with corporate experience to its leadership as it readies for larger-scale deployments.
NEO Beta marks a move by 1X to expand from commercial settings to consumer use. It builds on EVE’s skillset for manipulating objects and years of experience, said the company.
