Neo Humanoid Robot At-Home Training Update

Robot Capabilities & AI Model - 1X's humanoid robot Neo features a new AI model, Redwood AI, enhancing its capabilities in unfamiliar settings [1][3] - Neo's new abilities include picking up unfamiliar objects, whole body control, improved coordination, running, multidirectional walking, and stair climbing [1] - Neo's stair mode uses onboard cameras to estimate floor height, avoiding the use of LiDAR sensors [1] - The robot can sit, kneel, stand, and perform tasks requiring low-to-the-ground positioning, such as handing tools and working under a car [2] - Neo can pivot, walk backwards, and side-step, useful for navigating tight spaces [3] AI Model Training & Simulation - Redwood AI runs completely on Neo's onboard GPU [3] - 1X's World model bridges the gap between training simulations and real-world action using video inputs, robot observations, and action trajectories [3][4] - The AI model learns from experience, improving its simulations of object interactions, such as opening an air fryer [5] - The 1X world model struggles with simulating unfamiliar objects and locomotion [6] Future Development - 1X focuses on task-specific training to achieve a general AI model for robots [6]
