1X Technologies is a Norwegian-American AI robotics company founded in 2014 by CEO Bernt Øivind Børnich. The firm builds humanoid robots—first deploying wheeled EVE bots in industrial settings in 2018, then shifting focus in 2022 to bipedal home assistants like NEO Gamma and NEO Beta, aimed at learning alongside humans to perform domestic and service tasks safely and intuitively.

1X stands at the forefront of the household robotics revolution, with deep tech roots and strong backing from OpenAI, EQT, Samsung Next, and Tiger Global ($23.5M Series A and $100M Series B). NEO Gamma is entering early home trials by end of 2025 with remote teleoperation guiding its learning, a scalable approach to data collection and autonomy improvement. Their alignment with Nvidia’s open-source Isaac GR00T N1 platform further accelerates robot reasoning and task versatility, making 1X a rare near-term bet on transforming billions of homes with intelligent, safe humanoids vs their current competitors.
