Norwegian robotics startup 1X intends to introduce its Neo Gamma humanoid robot to "a few hundred to a few thousand" homes by the end of 2025, marking an ambitious step toward bringing humanoid robots into daily life.

Norwegian robotics company 1X has unveiled NEO Gamma, the successor to its NEO Beta humanoid, designed for home use with enhanced AI, improved mobility, and a friendlier, household-friendly design.

Kind Humanoid, a three-person startup founded by former Google robotics researcher Christoph Kohstall, will join 1X's Bay Area operations

The world model, trained on thousands of hours of video data, can predict how environments and objects respond to robot actions.

What stands out most in these demonstrations is not just what NEO does, but how it does it—silently, efficiently, and with a level of dexterity that appear convincingly human-like.
