In Episode 166 of The Robotic Report Podcast, co-hosts Mike Oitzman and Steve Crowe talk about the newest robotics information from the previous week.
On the present this week, we function a latest dialog with Berndt Børnich, CEO and founding father of 1X (previously Halodi) Robotics. 1X lately launched NEO Beta, its second technology of a humanoid robotic, and the corporate’s first legged platform. 1X has at all times had the mission to develop an abundance of labor and scale the inhabitants of humanoid robots.
On this dialog, Bernt discusses the launch of 1X’s humanoid robotic, NEO, and the mission to handle labor shortages by way of robotics. He emphasizes the significance of designing robots for dwelling environments to collect numerous knowledge for AI coaching, making certain security and compliance, and navigating regulatory challenges. The dialogue additionally touches on the general public notion of robots and the way forward for humanoid robotics in society.
The corporate deployed its first technology of EVE robots in enterprise and is now centered on deploying NEO into the house. “Our precedence is security,” stated Bernt Børnich, CEO of 1X. “Security is the cornerstone that enables us to confidently introduce NEO Beta into houses, the place it should collect important suggestions and show its capabilities in real-world settings.”

Information of the week
3Laws secures $4.1M in seed funding to enhance robotic security
- We had 3Laws chief scientist and co-founder Aaron Ames on the podcast again in February. Earlier this week, I met with Professor Ames and his workforce to debate their latest funding spherical and future plans. The corporate, based by Professor Ames and his lab members, has developed groundbreaking security algorithms for humanoid robots. These algorithms, primarily based on the rules of three Legal guidelines, may turn into important for making certain the secure operation of future robotic programs. The corporate intends to make use of the brand new funding to increase its engineering workforce and commercialize its options, whereas additionally hiring assist workers to serve its clients.
Serve Robotics companions with Wing for robot-to-drone supply
-
Serve Robotics and Wing Aviation are teaming as much as revolutionize last-mile deliveries. A Serve robotic will gather orders and hand them off to a Wing drone for aerial supply, increasing the attain of supply companies to clients as much as six miles away. The Federal Aviation Administration’s latest approval of beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights for Wing and Zipline in Dallas marks a big step ahead on this rising business. The convergence of floor and aerial robots is ushering in a brand new period of last-mile supply options.
OpenAI closed a $6.6 billion funding haul with funding from Microsoft and Nvidia
- OpenAI simply introduced a $6.6 billion funding spherical. This funding spherical may worth the corporate at $157 billion and cement its place as one of the priceless personal corporations on the earth. OpenAI has turn into a centerpiece for thus many AI-based options, together with many robotics corporations.
