In a video announcing a collaboration between 1X's AI team and the Nvidia Gear Lab, the much-touted, still-in-development Neo Gamma humanoid robot gave Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang a studded leather jacket. Depicting the hardware company's logo on the back in metal studs, the jacket was made by California-based clothing brand ERL—but this collaboration wants to venture beyond the wardrobe and into the home.
1X Technologies is in the business of humanoid robots for industry settings and the home, such as the Neo Gamma. Based partly in California, they've been around since at least 2014; originally founded in Norway as Halodi Robotics, they underwent a rebrand in 2023 and have more recently embarked on an endeavour to make friends with heavy hitters in big tech.
