1X Technologies (formerly Halodi Robotics) is Norway's leading humanoid robotics company, distinguished by its safety-first design philosophy and long-term focus on home assistant applications. The company's EVE wheeled robot has been commercially deployed in security and logistics roles, providing operational revenue that few humanoid-focused startups can claim. Backed by OpenAI's startup fund in its 2023 Series A, 1X is developing NEO as its bipedal home-assistant platform through an unusually methodical, data-driven rollout process.
