Norwegian company 1X is building a humanoid robot for the home

Norwegian company 1X has unveiled an updated version of its humanoid robot Neo Gamma, designed for testing in home environments. The robot performs household tasks — brewing coffee, doing laundry, and cleaning.

Neo Gamma is ready for limited testing outside the laboratory, but commercial deployment is still far off. The robot features a soft design with a knitted cover to ensure safety during human contact.

Unlike competitors focused on warehouses and factories, 1X is betting on domestic use. The company has also improved its artificial intelligence system to enable safer interaction with the environment.

1X first gained attention after receiving investments from OpenAI, and is now developing its own AI models to facilitate more natural communication between the robot and humans. However, the widespread adoption of such systems in households remains a matter for the future.
