1X’s latest humanoid robot will do your chores in a sweater

Robotics company OneX recently released a demo video of its new robot, Neo Gamma

And while humanoid robots are getting more lifelike every day, there's something about this one that feels different

It's not the way it moves, but what it's wearing. Unlike most humanoid robots that sport a more rigid mechanical aesthetic

Neo Gamma is wrapped in a soft beige-knit bodysuit. The idea, to blend in with home environments instead of standing out

It's an evolution of 1X's earlier model Neo-Beta, but this version was designed to be more

inviting something you wouldn't mind having in your living room. Even Neo Gamma's

depth cameras are designed to feel more familiar, positioned side by side just

like human eyes. But Neo Gamma isn't just about looks. It's built to handle

household chores like tidying up, vacuuming, and even doing laundry. Similar to other

humanoid robots, Neo Gamma is trained using motion capture data so it can walk

with a natural stride, swing its arms, and even squat, or sit in a chair. Its

hands are designed to mimic human tendons, giving them more flexibility and control for handling objects. While the demo video

doesn't mention what the robot can do autonomously, previous videos from 1X have shown its

Eve robots performing tasks with end-to-end autonomy. According to 1X, Neo-Gama's knit fabric

helps muffle sound, keeping it at about the same noise level as a refrigerator. It also has

built-in speakers, not only for voice interaction, but for sound effects and even music. Plus, it has

light-up earrings that show when it's listening or talking, kind of like Alexa's glowing ring

Neo-Gama's AI was developed in-house, but backing from OpenAI, the same company behind ChatGBT

means it can process natural language, making conversations feel more intuitive. The goal

To create a robot that not only helps around the house, but feels more human-like and how it

interacts with people. Right now, Neo-Gama is still in the testing phase, so it's not

available for purchase just yet. While other robotics companies are focusing on warehouse

and factory work, OneX believes the best way to make robots truly useful is by training

them in real-world environments around people, pets, and all the unpredictability of daily life
