Humans learn societal norms and behaviors from each other, and Bernt Børnich, founder and CEO of 1X Technologies, believes robots should do the same. For robots to be truly intelligent and exhibit nuanced behaviors, they must learn by interacting with humans in real-world environments.

1X Technologies is focused on developing autonomous humanoid robots that prioritize safety, affordability, and adaptability. The company uses reinforcement learning, expert demonstrations, and real-world data to enable continuous learning.

NEO, their upcoming robot, can perform household tasks like vacuuming, folding laundry, and retrieving items. Designed with safety in mind, NEO uses tendon-driven mechanisms inspired by human anatomy for energy efficiency.

Børnich emphasizes the potential of robots to enhance human productivity by handling mundane tasks, allowing people to focus on creativity and interpersonal connections.
