aid: 1x-robotics name: 1X Technologies description: >- 1X Technologies (formerly Halodi Robotics) is a Norwegian-American humanoid robotics company building general-purpose bipedal robots designed to live and work alongside people. Founded in 2014 in Norway by Bernt Øyvind Børnich, the company is now headquartered in Palo Alto, California with R&D and manufacturing presence in Moss, Norway and a new vertically integrated NEO factory in Hayward, California. 1X is backed by the OpenAI Startup Fund, EQT Ventures, Tiger Global, Samsung NEXT, and others through Series A2 ($23.5M, 2023), Series B ($100M, 2024), and a $1B raise reported in 2025. Its commercial robots are EVE — a wheeled upper-humanoid deployed in industrial and security settings since 2022 — and NEO, a bipedal home humanoid that began pre-orders October 28, 2025 at $20,000 (or $499/month) with consumer deliveries in 2026. 1X also acquired Kind Humanoid (Jan 2025) and announced a partnership to deploy up to 10,000 NEO robots into EQT portfolio company factories and warehouses between 2026 and 2030. Unlike most humanoid robotics vendors, 1X publishes meaningful open-source artifacts: the EVE ROS2 API (custom WholeBodyTrajectory and DrivingCommand message types) and the halodi-messages package on GitHub under Apache-2.0, plus the 1X World Model Challenge with 100+ hours of vector-quantized EVE observations and GENIE baseline models released on Hugging Face. There is no public REST/HTTP developer API or hosted developer portal — the developer surface is ROS2 messages, robot models in URDF, and the world-model dataset/model artifacts. type: Index position: Provider access: 3rd-Party image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Robotics - Humanoid Robots - General-Purpose Robots - Bipedal Robots - Embodied AI - World Models - Foundation Models - ROS2 - EVE - NEO - Home Robotics - Manufacturing - Warehouse Automation - Hardware - Norway url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/1x-robotics/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-05-25' modified: '2026-05-25' specificationVersion: '0.20' apis: [] common: - type: DomainSecurity url: security/1x-robotics-domain-security.yml - type: Website url: https://www.1x.tech - type: NEO url: https://www.1x.tech/neo - type: About url: https://www.1x.tech/about - type: Discover url: https://www.1x.tech/discover - type: Press url: https://www.1x.tech/press - type: InvestorRelations url: https://www.1x.tech/investor-relations - type: Careers url: https://www.1x.tech/careers - type: Support url: https://www.1x.tech/support - type: GetUpdates url: https://www.1x.tech/get-updates - type: GitHubOrg url: https://github.com/1x-technologies - type: WorldModelChallenge url: https://github.com/1x-technologies/1xgpt - type: WorldModelDataset url: https://huggingface.co/datasets/1x-technologies/worldmodel - type: EveRos2Examples url: https://github.com/1x-technologies/eve-ros2-examples - type: HalodiMessages url: https://github.com/1x-technologies/halodi-messages - type: RobotModels url: https://github.com/1x-technologies/halodi-robot-models - type: Contact url: mailto:contact@1x.tech - type: ChallengeContact url: mailto:challenge@1x.tech - type: Twitter url: https://twitter.com/1x_tech - type: LinkedIn url: https://www.linkedin.com/company/1x-tech - type: YouTube url: https://www.youtube.com/@1x_tech - type: Instagram url: https://www.instagram.com/1x_tech - type: TikTok url: https://www.tiktok.com/@1x_tech - type: Wikipedia url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1X_Technologies maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com
