1X Technologies

Pioneering Humanoid Robotics for Home and Industry

1X Technologies - formerly Halodi Robotics - is a Norwegian-American robotics and AI company founded in 2014 by Bernt Oivind Bornich. With headquarters in Moss, Norway, and operations across California, including Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, the company rebranded in 2023 to reflect its renewed ambition: building general-purpose humanoid robots capable of safely coexisting and working alongside humans. At its core, 1X solidified its reputation by developing the high-torque, low-gear-ratio Revo1 servo motor and deploying EVE - a wheeled humanoid robot used across logistics, security, and healthcare sectors. EVE not only validated the company’s foundational AI, perception, and manipulation technologies but also demonstrated real-world viability in enterprise environments.

NEO Gamma: The Home Humanoid Assistant

Building on its enterprise successes, 1X pivoted to consumer robotics, introducing its flagship bipedal humanoid, NEO Gamma, tailored for domestic use. This robot embodies a sleek, anthropomorphic design, capable of navigating complex, unstructured home environments with fluid, humanlike movements and AI-driven adaptability. Its foundation includes proprietary embodied learning systems, vision-language-action models, and advanced whole-body control, allowing it to perform household tasks such as opening doors, picking up items, and interacting with voice and gesture commands. NEO Gamma is currently undergoing early home deployments as part of a private access program, enabling real-time data collection and refinement for eventual broader consumer availability.

Innovating with Safety, Intelligence, and Scale

1X Technologies stands out for its comprehensive, vertically integrated robotic ecosystem - spanning custom hardware (Revo1 motors), safety-focused soft design, in-house AI systems, and strategic partnerships with industry leaders like OpenAI and NVIDIA. Notably, in early 2025, NEO Gamma demonstrated autonomous tidying capabilities powered by NVIDIA’s GR00T N1 foundation model, showcasing a leap in robot cognition through reflexive actions and deliberate planning. With substantial funding - over $100 million in Series B and multi-million rounds from OpenAI Startup Fund, EQT Ventures, Samsung NEXT, and others - 1X is poised to scale operations, ramp up manufacturing, and realize its vision of bringing humanoid companions into everyday life safely, affordably, and at scale.
