Meet the Humanoid Robots Being Deployed to Homes
The humanoid robots just keep coming. Neo is the latest built by robotics company, One X. This pre-production beta model will be tested in home settings. An interesting shift for many of the more warehouse focused humanoids we've been covering. Here's everything we know about Neo, the new robot on the block. One X dropped a short and sweet teaser announcing its Neo robot in it. The robot picks up a bag and hands it to someone and poses with a person for a picture while this is the first video one X has shared of Neo. It appears the robot made an appearance as a hologram alongside Nvidia's Ceo Jensen Wong when he announced the company's project brute form for the development of humanoid robots. Onex's decision to show Neo with its arm around a person indicates how one X may be hoping to differentiate itself from the competition. Most other robotics companies show interaction with humans primarily to test resilience or to show how humans and robots can work together. One X seems to be selling a kind of close and casual encounter that we haven't seen a lot of in the humanoid robotic space. This is likely due to the fact that one X is pitching Neo as something that could someday be used to help around the house. Something designed for the home will naturally require a deeper level of trust than something designed for a factory or warehouse setting. Since the robot will know where you live and see where you sleep. Neo is about 5 ft five inches tall and weighs 66 pounds, making it one of the lightest humanoid robots we've covered here on what the future it can carry. 44 pounds run at a speed of 7.5 MPH and has a battery life of 2 to 4 hours. If Neo is on the fritz or acting strange one says the robot can be quickly taken over by a remote human operator for safety. Another interesting feature is that Neo is covered in clothing, making it look more like the first iteration Tesla bot meaning a person in a robot suit than an actual robot. The clothing may be an effort to cover up. What one X says is a quote muscle like anatomy perhaps to protect some proprietary technology or for aesthetic reasons. One X says Neo can quote, walk jog climb stairs and navigate your space naturally. One X has made humanoid robots before which could give us a clue at where Neo is headed. Neo's predecessor eve was heavier, taller and also clothed to cover up its robotic innards making it look pretty jacked not exactly comforting to a world that's been conditioned on sci fi movies. Eve uses wheels instead of legs to get around. And One X describes it as an A I data collection platform. And the foundation for Neo's Learning One X has posted several videos of its Eve robots operating autonomously performing a variety of tasks with some appearing to be more successful than others. They are in training after all. According to its CEO One X will be deploying a handful of neo beta robots into homes this year for research and development purposes. The company hopes that ultimately its robots will be able to help around the house with chores and perhaps support to people with limited mobility One X is backed by open A I. The company behind Chat GP T though it's unclear how open A I's technology is being used in One X's robots. If at all, we do know that figure another humanoid robotics company announced a partnership with Open A I that allows his robots to converse and take local commands as always. Thanks so much for watching. I'm your host, Jesse Oral. See you next time with the F.
