Company to release MILLIONS of 'humanoid' robots by 2028 so you never have to do chores like cleaning or carry a bag again
A company plans to release “millions” of humanoids to the market by 2028 so that humans don’t need to worry about performing daily chores.
The prototype was created by 1X, which specialises in robotics of this kind.
Designed for “home use”, the humanoid will reportedly be able to perform “physical labour” – such as carry your food shop and clean.
Dubbed NEO Beta, it is 5.41ft tall and weighs 66lbs.
Despite its slender frame, the robot can carry up to 44lbs, as well as walk 2.5 miles an hour and run 7.5 miles an hour.
Though, even a humanoid needs rest – the NEO can currently operate on a full charge for two to four hours.
While most people have embraced conversational AI systems – like telling your Amazon Alexa what music to play or chatting to Apple’s Siri – the question remains whether a physical robot presence will be embraced in the same way.
Bernt Børnich, CEO at 1X, which has headquarters in San Francisco and Norway, highlights that the company is focusing heavily on “safety”.
So you don’t need to worry about the robots taking over just yet.
The NEO was inspired by Honda’s ASIMO, which could walk, climb stairs and perform other basic tasks.
“Our priority is safety,” said Børnich.
“Safety is the cornerstone that allows us to confidently introduce NEO Beta into homes, where it will gather essential feedback and demonstrate its capabilities in real-world settings.
“This year, we are deploying a limited number of NEO units in selected homes for research and development purposes.
“Doing so means we are taking another step toward achieving our mission.”
He added that the company plan to release “hundreds of thousands” of robots by 2027 and “millions” by 2028.
