Norwegian robotics firm 1X has developed a humanoid robot for home chores that is wrapped in beige knitwear to “complement living spaces rather than disrupt them”.
An evolution of 1X’s Neo Beta, Neo Gamma was designed with a more Scandi, minimalist look than its black-and-grey forebearer in a bid to make the robot more approachable.
The household helper was designed to complete a variety of tasks from tidying and vacuuming to doing the laundry, with an integrated AI system allowing it to approximate human speech and body language.
Having developed a functioning prototype, 1X is now looking to test the Neo Gamma in a home environment, although mass production and deployment are still some way off.
