1X Technologies is a Norwegian robotics startup backed by OpenAI.
The company was founded by Bernt Øivind in 2014 under the name Halodi Robotics, initially supplying safety actuators and whole-body control systems to the robotics industry.
It released its first wheeled humanoid robot, EVE, in 2018, and in 2022 rebranded as 1X Technologies, shifting its focus toward developing home robots.
Its latest home robot, Neo Gamma, drew widespread attention for its woven nylon shell.
In 2026, 1X opened a new factory in Hayward, California, with the goal of producing 10,000 home robots within a year.
The company has moved its headquarters from Norway to Palo Alto, California.
