China exportsemi net will continue to break down the "Robot Industry Research" report of China International Finance Securities for you. Today, you will learn about the world's first humanoid robot 1X EVE that has truly entered the workplace. In this regard, it has surpassed the much-received 1X EVE. Concerned Tesla robot. EVE is currently being tested at Sunnaas Hospital in Norway as a medical assistant robot, where it performs logistical tasks so that nursing staff have more time to focus on caring for patients. EVE also serves as a security guard at two industrial sites.
1X Technologies: Paying attention to product lightweight, NEO adopts a "gearless" design concept
Founded in 2014, 1X Technologies (hereinafter referred to as 1X) is a Norwegian manufacturer focused on developing humanoid robots with high flexibility and scalability. 1X mainly has two humanoid robot products: EVE and NEO, of which EVE is on the market and NEO is under development. In March 2023, 1X received Series A2 financing from OpenAI and other institutions, raising a total of US$23.5 million. 1X plans to use the funds to ramp up research and development of its upcoming bipedal humanoid robot, NEO, and mass-produce its first commercial robot, EVE, in Norway and North America.

1x EVE wheeled robot
EVE is a wheeled robot designed specifically for work environments. It is the flagship product of 1X. It is a wheeled robot specially designed for the working environment, with two arms, two eyes and a four-wheel chassis. The EVE robot is 186 centimeters tall, weighs 86 kilograms, has a top speed of 14.4 kilometers per hour, has a carrying capacity of 15 kilograms and an endurance of 6 hours.

EVE is equipped with cameras and sensors that allow it to sense and interact with its surrounding environment. EVE's mobility, dexterity and balance enable it to navigate complex environments and effectively manipulate objects. It is mainly used in logistics, retail and guard patrol fields.
Logistics link: EVE can move goods and handle fragile items, easily integrate into logistics workflow, and work seamlessly with teams in warehouses or distribution centers.
Retail Management: EVE's wheeled navigation and grabbers make it easy to manage warehouses, access inventory, manage stores, and more.
Guard Patrol: EVE fleets can guard corporate campuses and move between different floors of office buildings. Using multiple robots under the supervision of a human operator can achieve productivity without increasing labor costs.

1X NEO bipedal humanoid robot
NEO is a bipedal humanoid robot currently under development. According to the 1X official website, the NEO humanoid robot is 167 centimeters tall, weighs 30 kilograms, has a walking speed of 4 kilometers per hour, a running speed of 12 kilometers per hour, a carrying capacity of 20 kilograms and an endurance of 2-4 hours.

Paying attention to product lightweight, NEO will adopt the "gearless" design concept. According to the 1X official website, 1X believes that the use of gears in robots can provide power, but it will also increase weight and reduce agility. Currently, 1X has successfully developed a motor that can achieve approximately 80% of human muscle force density without the use of gears, and NEO is expected to adopt a "gearless" design concept. As a general humanoid robot, NEO has a wide range of application scenarios. According to the 1X official website, NEO is a general-purpose humanoid robot that can handle industrial tasks such as logistics, manufacturing, and operating machinery. In the long term, NEO can also provide daily life services such as cleaning and housekeeping, as well as providing support, access to items and companionship to individuals with limited mobility.
