1X

1X is a Norwegian robotics company that develops humanoid robots capable of human-like movements and behaviors. Their flagship products are EVE, a wheeled android, and NEO, an upcoming bipedal android designed for home assistance. 1X's core technology is the Revo1 motor, claimed to be the world's highest torque-to-weight direct drive servo motor tailored for low gear-ratio robotics. This proprietary motor enables the androids' agility, dexterity, and ability to self-balance.

Key customers and partnerships

By partnering with OpenAI, 1X aims to integrate embodied artificial intelligence into its robots through real-world training scenarios. The robots can understand natural language commands and learn to perform tasks through expert demonstrations, a process called embodied learning. This approach allows the androids to navigate unstructured environments and interact intuitively with humans.

In 2023, 1X partnered with ADT Commercial, a security solutions provider, to introduce autonomous guarding services using EVE. The android was deployed for night patrols in commercial buildings, showcasing its ability to surveil premises, communicate, and perform security tasks autonomously.

Additionally, 1X has established enterprise clients in logistics and guarding industries, although specific customer names are not disclosed. The company also collaborates with NVIDIA for its AI and robotics capabilities.
