“1X's founder, I've heard, has deeply cultivated this robot foundation... they do Series Elastic Actuator humanoids — relatively unique.”

“Neo is available for home use, but it comes along with a teleoperator that spends time in your house, like walking around doing something. And that's to collect that data, to train the robot. They need a lot of these deployments to collect enough data. That doesn't seem like a very scalable solution.”

“Neo actually has tendons that gets pulled, very loosely inspired by human muscle. And this makes Neo into a robot that is quiet, soft, compliant, lightweight, safe, and really able to live among us and learn among us.”

“We are standing at the gates of a future where the work needed to build the products we use, the services we rely on, and even the chores in our homes will be as effortlessly accessible as energy is today.”
