Norwegian robotics startup 1X is set to begin early tests of its humanoid robot, Neo Gamma, in several homes by the end of 2025. CEO Bernt Børnich emphasizes the importance of early adopters to help refine the robot's capabilities through real-world experiences. The home testing process will employ teleoperators to control the robot remotely, as Neo Gamma is not yet fully autonomous. This initiative comes amidst a growing trend in the humanoid robotics sector, with competitors also eyeing home trials.
"Neo Gamma is going into homes this year. We want to invite early adopters in this year to help us develop this system."
"Putting heavy metal robots into peoples' homes raises the stakes for the nascent industry. It can turn south - quickly."
"To make in-home tests possible, 1X is bootstrapping the process by relying on teleoperators - humans in remote locations that can view Neo Gamma's cameras and sensors in real-time."
"These in-home tests will allow 1X to collect data on how Neo Gamma operates in the home, helping to train in-house AI models."
