1x technologies, The robotic technology and artificial intelligence company of Norwegian origin has presented Neo gamma, its new humanoid robot design with which it profils the future of the Robotics at home, of accompaniment technology and autonomous humanoids.

Neo Gamma is an advance with respect to Neo Beta, the robot that the company presented last August, and Eve, the humanoid designed for industrial environments. Neo Gamma is a prototype designed for tests in the domestic environment and, as shown by the images that 1X has shared, the goal is to apply in the usual home taskslike passing the vacuum, serve the table or clean.

According to the company itself, Neo Gamma has improvements with respect to previous models both in software and hardware. Thus, among the novelties introduced, 1x highlights the inclusion of light ears designed for transmit emotions and communicate, as well as a Minimalist design For your home integration.

The movement with a multipurpose controller, In such a way that you can walk with a natural human step, swing your arms, bend down to collect things from the ground and sit in chairs. In addition, its exterior has Covered with soft material to reduce impacts with the environment and increase security in general.

The company has also improved its spatial vision, as well as its language model to allow A conversation and natural body language. In addition, he has optimized the sound system – he has four microphones – and the noise it generated, the result of the machinery and the cooling system.

1x has explained that Neo Gamma is ready to move on to the next experimentation phase, with the realization of home tests. However, it points out that there is still a long way for robot production to be scaled and deploy commercially.

“In the not too distant future we will have our own home assistant robot, but for humanoid robots to really integrate into everyday life, they must develop along with humans, not in isolation“; Bernt Børnich, CEO of 1x Technologies, has commented in a statement.”The home provides a context of the real world and the diversity of data necessary for humanoids to grow in intelligence and autonomy”

Børnich ensures that home tests also facilitates that robots Learn the nuances of human life, as the way to open the door to older people or to move carefully near pets, and considers that robots confined in industrial space or laboratory development lose that fundamental understanding.

Neo Gamma occurs at a time of great activity for companies that are also exploring the development of domestic robots, such as Agility, Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Figure and Tesla. Some of them already have their innovations operating in a simulated domestic environments within their laboratories, but most have prioritized implementation in warehouses and factories. The intention of 1x is giving priority to the home makes it unique among its direct peers.

1x Technologies has gained notoriety in the market in recent years thanks to the support of OpenAi, which in May 2023 led an investment round of $ 23.5 million in the company. The commitment of the company led by Sam Altman in the field of humanoid robots reflects the future of artificial intelligence at home and interaction with machines.
