Social RoboticsOpenAI's start-up fund leads 23.5 million dollar round for humanoid maker 1X
The Norwegian company, formerly Halodi Robotics, said it would develop its bipedal NEO android and scale production of the wheeled EVE.
1X Technologies announced a Series A2 round of 23.5 million dollars led by the OpenAI Startup Fund, with Tiger Global and several Norwegian investors also taking part. The money was earmarked for building NEO, a two-legged android, and for manufacturing EVE, the company's wheeled android, in Norway and North America. OpenAI's backing linked one of the leading AI labs directly to humanoid hardware. 1X would later position NEO as a robot for the home, making this an early step towards humanoids that live alongside people.
