Norwegian robotics startup 1X plans to start early tests of its humanoid robot, Neo Gamma, in a few hundred to a few thousand homes by the end of 2025, according to the companys CEO, Bernt Børnich. Neo Gamma is going into homes this year, Børnich told TechCrunch in an interview at Nvidia GTC 2025. We want to invite early adopters in this year to help us develop this system. We want it to live and learn among people, and to do that, we need people to take Neo into their home and help us teach it how to behave.
Figure, a Bay Area-based competitor to 1X with an active social media presence, announced in February that it would also begin home tests of its humanoid robots in 2025. Weeks later, Bloomberg reported Figure was in talks for a $1.5 billion fundraise at an eye-watering $40 billion valuation. OpenAI a 1X investor is also reportedly exploring building its own humanoid robots.
