In Episode 166 of The Robotic Report Podcast, co-hosts Mike Oitzman and Steve Crowe talk about the most recent robotics information from the previous week.
On the present this week, we characteristic a current dialog with Berndt Børnich, CEO and founding father of 1X (previously Halodi) Robotics. 1X lately launched NEO Beta, its second era 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 deal with labor shortages by robotics. He emphasizes the significance of designing robots for house environments to assemble numerous knowledge for AI coaching, guaranteeing 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 era of EVE robots in enterprise and is now targeted on deploying NEO into the house. “Our precedence is security,” mentioned Bernt Børnich, CEO of 1X. “Security is the cornerstone that enables us to confidently introduce NEO Beta into properties, the place it’s going to collect important suggestions and exhibit 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 crew to debate their current 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, based mostly on the ideas of three Legal guidelines, might grow to be important for guaranteeing the secure operation of future robotic programs. The corporate intends to make use of the brand new funding to broaden its engineering crew and commercialize its options, whereas additionally hiring help employees 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 accumulate 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 current approval of beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights for Wing and Zipline in Dallas marks a big step ahead on this rising trade. 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 might worth the corporate at $157 billion and cement its place as one of the crucial worthwhile personal corporations on this planet. OpenAI has grow to be a centerpiece for therefore many AI-based options, together with many robotics corporations.
