1X Unveils Neo Gamma: AI-Powered Home Robot Prototype

Oslo/Munich - Norwegian company 1X has introduced the Neo Gamma, an AI-powered humanoid robot designed for domestic use. This prototype follows the Neo Beta and is being tested in home environments, performing tasks like making coffee and doing laundry. 1X emphasizes that Neo Gamma is still in early stages, focusing on safety through a softer design and advanced AI to avoid harm. While companies like Boston Dynamics focus on industrial applications, 1X uniquely prioritizes home use. The company gained attention with early support from OpenAI and is developing AI models to enhance the robot's language and body language, aiming for safer and more natural human-robot interactions. The Neo Gamma represents a step towards embodied intelligence, but faces challenges in pricing, reliability, and functionality before widespread adoption.
