1X Technologies

We’re an AI and robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, on a mission to build a truly abundant society through general-purpose robots capable of performing any kind of work autonomously.We believe that to truly understand the world and grow in intelligence, humanoid robots must live and learn alongside us. That’s why we’re focused on developing NEO—our flagship product—a friendly home robot designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday life and handle chores for you. Originally founded as Halodi Robotics, CEO Bernt Øyvind Børnich founded the company to realize a new solution: general purpose robots that can coexist with humans and elevate humanity. Inspired by human tendon actuation, we developed the world’s highest torque to weight drive servo motor, Revo1. Tailored explicitly for low gear-ratio robotics and flexible mechanics. We deployed wheeled factory humanoid into customers facilities globally to start handling industrial tasks autonomously. After successful enterprise deployments, we realized machine intelligence needed a more wholistic view of the surrounding world. So, we started building NEO to open the door to humanoids that live and learn among us. In 2024 we shared NEO with the world for the first time after making a commitment to develop humanoids alongside humans.
