1X Technologies
Integrator / OEM
Norwegian-American maker of the NEO bipedal humanoid and EVE wheeled android, targeting home and enterprise labor.
1X Technologies (formerly Halodi Robotics, founded 2014) designs and manufactures general-purpose humanoid robots. Its flagship NEO is a bipedal, tendon-driven humanoid built for household tasks, sold through an early-adopter program and offered in enterprise configurations; its earlier EVE is a wheeled humanoid used for logistics, security and industrial work. 1X develops its own low-inertia, cable-driven Revo1 servo actuators and runs end-to-end neural-network control to make robots safe around people. The company markets itself around creating 'an abundance of labor through intelligent machines,' with a stated goal of placing NEO in homes and piloting enterprise robots with partners such as EQT.

Evidence boundary
Original analysis and independent corroboration remain under development. Commercial scale and durable technical advantage remain under review.
What makes it defensible
Vertically integrated, tendon-driven actuators (Revo1) plus end-to-end neural control give 1X a low-cost, safe humanoid stack aimed at the home - the market incumbents avoid because safety and cost are hardest there.
Position in the stack: Full-stack humanoid OEM: owns actuators, hardware and the learning stack, selling finished robots into homes and enterprises rather than components.
Who buys it
Named customers: EQT (10,000 NEO units)
