NEO robot from 1X works autonomously without internet on onboard GPU

The humanoid robot NEO from 1X Technologies demonstrated cool capabilities that finally bring us closer to humanity’s long-standing dream of full-fledged household assistants.

The key innovation here is the intelligent Redwood system. Which completely rethinks the approach to robot control. This isn’t just another language model. But a complex autonomous system that unites perception of the surrounding world, movement and control of complex motions into a single whole.

What makes NEO truly breakthrough? Complete autonomy! All computational power of Redwood is implemented on the onboard graphics processor. Which provides the robot with real freedom of action without the need for constant cloud connection. Imagine: your household assistant continues working even in the basement, at the dacha or with unstable internet connection — continuing to perform your tasks regardless of external conditions.

Also impressive is the coordination of whole-body movements. NEO can synchronize the work of arms, legs, pelvis and torso to perform the most complex household tasks. It leans against surfaces for greater stability, opens doors, extracts needed items from cabinets, bypasses obstacles and even repeats attempts if it couldn’t grasp an object on the first try. All this in real, non-ideal conditions of an ordinary apartment.
