1X unveils soft humanoid robot for home assistance

Robotics company 1X has introduced the NEO Gamma, a humanoid robot designed for home use. It features a soft, 3D-printed nylon exterior and can perform various tasks like carrying items, vacuuming, and tidying up. The NEO Gamma includes new ear rings that provide visual feedback, enhancing interaction. This is a notable upgrade from the previous model, the Neo Beta, which did not have this feature. While the robot's autonomous capabilities are not detailed, 1X has previously demonstrated its Eve robots performing tasks independently. The design aims to blend into home environments while protecting internal components.
