for home use.</p> <p>Known as NEO Beta, the new robot represents a significant advancement in robotics.</p> <p>It moves beyond traditional, stiff robots to <a href="https://interestingengineering.com/videos/ep-19-humanoid-robots-are-getting-too-close-to-reality" target="_blank" rel="dofollow">humanoids</a> with bio-inspired designs that can safely work among people.</p> <p>According to 1X, the NEO Beta launch marks a major milestone for the company as it transitions from conceptual development to introducing humanoid robots into consumer households. </p> <p>The company designed NEO for mass production at its factory in Moss, Norway.</p> <p>“Our priority is safety,” said Bernt Børnich, CEO at 1X. </p> <p>“Safety is the cornerstone that allows us to confidently introduce NEO Beta into homes, where it will gather essential feedback and demonstrate its capabilities in real-world <a

This year, we are deploying a limited number of NEO units in selected homes for research and development purposes.
