A 1X AI representative discusses the company’s collaboration with NVIDIA on NEO’s autonomy and household tasks, including a week of joint work in a home.
1X AI and NVIDIA share an ambition to bring general-purpose humanoid robots into homes. The collaboration focuses on exchanging ideas about NEO’s autonomy challenges, with the aim of moving faster.
The teams spent roughly a week working together in a home. They focused on getting NEO to load a dishwasher and assist with other household tasks, with engineers from both groups collaborating on solutions.
After a week, a policy was working well enough to perform a handover, an outcome the team had not anticipated. Seeing that capability work gave the speaker confidence that the effort could succeed.
