1X Technologies

1X Technologies is a Norwegian robotics company formerly known as Halodi Robotics. It develops general-purpose robots intended to operate in real-world environments, including mobile robots and humanoid robots for logistics, service work, and other physically repetitive tasks. Its best-known platforms include the earlier EVE mobile robot and the NEO humanoid robot, which is intended for use in homes and other complex environments. The company combines robotic hardware and software, with an emphasis on mobility, manipulation, and safe operation around people. 1X has received outside investment, including backing from OpenAI, but specific financing amounts and ownership details are not included here. Because its products remain in development, testing, and early commercialization, 1X is best understood as a robotics technology company and corporate brand rather than an established mass-market consumer brand.

1X Technologies originated as Halodi Robotics in Norway and initially focused on mobile robots designed to work in environments shared with people. Its early EVE platform combined wheeled mobility with robotic arms and was directed at commercial applications such as logistics and security. As the company broadened its ambitions toward more general-purpose robotic forms, it adopted the 1X Technologies name and expanded its research into humanoid robots. The company later introduced the NEO project, intended to perform a range of tasks in homes and other unstructured environments. 1X has used external financing and partnerships with artificial-intelligence companies to advance development, training, testing, and commercialization. Public information is concentrated on product announcements and funding, so this entry does not estimate production scale, revenue, or the number of long-term commercial deployments.
