Our take
The field of robotics has advanced massively in the last few years, to the point where androids no longer belong to the realm of science fiction. 1X, formerly known as Halodi Robotics, is developing androids capable of human-like movement and behaviour, to employ in workplaces across the globe.
1X's flagship model, EVE, boasts front and rear optics, wheeled navigation and gripper-hands. The android is strong enough to move shipments but gentle enough to handle fragile items, making it ideal for work in retail storerooms or distribution centers. In addition, it is able to open doors and take elevators, and its AI mind grants it heightened navigation abilities, meaning it is simple to fit into workplaces without making large adjustments.
With significant funding at its back, the company is now looking to scale up its manufacture of EVE androids, as well as accelerate the production of its second-gen bipedal android model NEO which is described as an "intelligent android assistant". Though the adoption of working androids is still in its early stages, 1X has certainly made a splash in the space and may well be one to watch as it takes its place in shaping the future of robotics.
