1X, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Palo Alto, develops general-purpose humanoid robots designed to operate alongside humans in both domestic and industrial settings. The company's technical work spans humanoid robotics, reinforcement learning, computer vision, and generalist AI models. It has raised over $126 million across multiple funding rounds and is backed by OpenAI.
The company's product line includes EVE, an industrial robot deployed in customer facilities globally, and NEO, a consumer home robot. NEO stands 5'6" tall, weighs 66 lbs, and can perform tasks such as vacuuming, folding laundry, and retrieving items. It is powered by Redwood AI, 1X's proprietary generalist model, and uses tendon-driven actuators inspired by human musculature, operating at noise levels quieter than a refrigerator.
1X is currently hiring across 87 open roles as it scales its team to support its mission of creating what it describes as a truly abundant society through robotics.
