1X develops androids that mimic human movements and behaviors to assist in various real-world tasks. Their main product, EVE, is capable of navigating environments, turning corners, and opening doors through a technology called shared autonomy. This allows the androids to work alongside humans in settings like warehouses or offices. What sets 1X apart from competitors is their focus on advanced actuator systems and artificial intelligence, which enable their robots to perform tasks typically handled by people. The goal of 1X is to help businesses improve efficiency and address labor shortages by providing robots that can enhance human labor.

6 month growth

↑ 2%by Max MaxfieldAs one gets older, one becomes ever more set in one’s ways, and one increasingly uses words like one to refer to oneself. One manifestation of this is that I often find myself responding to things with “canned” replies, as if flying on conversational autopilot mode.Take, for example, when someone says, “So, that’s the plan.” My default retort is, “Let’s call it ‘Plan A’ so no one gets confused.”Alternatively, I might trot out the old chestnut, “If we don’t have a plan, we’re no better than the French!” (but not if I’m conversing with a French person because they famously have no sense of humor… or taste, as evidenced by the fact they foolishly disparage English haute cuisine).These were my only “go-to” rejoinders on the ‘plan’ front … until now. Earlier today, a friend introduced me to a quote attributed to Spike Milligan: “We haven’t got a plan, so nothing can go wrong!”That just made my day (I’m easily amused). I wonder how long it will be before I find a way to work this tidbit of trivia into one of my columns (Oh, wait…).But we digress…My poor old noggin is currently brimming over with ponderings pertaining to artificial intelligence (AI); more specifically, to AI-powered robots and AI-powered holograms. I’ve written about both topics in the last couple of years, but all sorts of new ideas are popping into my head.Before we go there, however, I’d like to share another interesting nugget of knowledge that just sauntered across my sensorium in the form of a design challenge intended to stimulate the commercialization of compelling and commercially viable MEMS devices.I just heard from the folks at MEMS Infinity, who tell me they recently launched their MEMS Infinity Challenge. This is a global design competition that directly encourages the design and production of exceptional new MEMS devices
The dream of having robots do household chores inched a little closer to reality last week. Figure, an OpenAI-backed robotics artificial intelligence (AI) startup, showed off humanoid robots that can understand voice commands and can grab objects they had never seen before. In a Figure video, a guy holding a bag of groceries starts unloading eggs, apple, ketchup, cheese, cookies and other items on a counter
1X said its latest robot, NEO Gamma, marks the next step towards its goal of making humanoids everyday helpers. | Source: 1X Technologies. For humanoid robots to become accepted parts of people’s daily lives, they’ll need to act in a human-like manner. At least, that’s what 1X Technologies AS is betting on today with the release of NEO Gamma, the successor to its NEO Beta humanoid. Companies looking to deploy humanoids in industrial settings can focus on making robots that can effectively perform a number of tasks as efficiently as possible. It’s why Boston Dynamics showed its Atlas robot twisting its arms and legs 180º to lift itself off the floor, an impossible feat for the human body
Meta is reportedly forming a new team that will be devoted to developing artificial intelligence-powered humanoid robots.The team will be within the company’s Reality Labs hardware division, Bloomberg reported Friday (Feb. 14), citing unnamed sources. It will be led by Marc Whitten, the former CEO of General Motors’ Cruise self-driving division, and will add about 100 engineers this year.Meta did not immediately reply to PYMNTS’ request for comment.The company plans to work on its own humanoid robot hardware, with a focus on robots that can perform household chores, as well as AI, sensors, and software that could be used by a variety of companies manufacturing and selling robots, according to the report.Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth wrote in an internal memo, per the report: “The core technologies we’ve already invested in and built across Reality Labs and AI are complementary to developing the advancements needed for robotics.”The company is betting that humanoid robots will not be widely available for a couple of years but that they will be a major focus for Meta and the entire tech industry, according to the report.The report came shortly after news of other companies’ efforts in projects involving robots.It was reported Wednesday (Feb. 12) that Apple is exploring humanoid and non-humanoid robots for smart home applications. The products are in the early proof-of-concept stage at Apple and mass production of any potential Apple robots would likely not start any time before 2028.On Feb. 3, it was reported that robots were among several product lines included in a trademark application filed by OpenAI
Listen to this articleEurope is a major center of robotics development and use, according to Humanoid. Source: Adobe Stock. While headlines often spotlight U.S. and Asian companies in the humanoid robotics race, a silent revolution is brewing in the tech hubs of Europe, where cutting-edge startups are making remarkable strides in developing human-like robots. From Norway to Switzerland, innovative European firms are pushing the boundaries of robotics technology, creating machines that can sense, feel, and interact with their environment in increasingly human-like ways
