EVE is an earlier humanoid robot from 1X Technologies, the Norwegian-American robotics company (formerly Halodi Robotics) now best known for its NEO home humanoid. EVE is distinct from NEO in one fundamental way: it is not fully bipedal — it uses a wheeled base for stability rather than legs. EVE served as 1X's earlier-generation platform for commercial tasks such as security and logistics, and as the foundation of nearly a decade of R&D in hardware, embodied AI, and manufacturing that later fed into NEO.
Availability
EVE was deployed for commercial and pilot use (security, logistics, and operator-guided "shared autonomy" tasks) rather than sold as an open consumer product, and 1X's current public-facing focus is firmly on NEO. There is no published consumer list price. 1X's manufacturing learnings from EVE — it was reportedly harder to produce than NEO — directly informed the more manufacturable NEO design.
Full Specifications
| Spec | Value (reported) |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Wheeled humanoid (wheeled base, humanoid upper body) — not bipedal |
| Actuation | 1X proprietary "Revo1" motor technology — low gear ratio, high torque, low friction, no backlash |
| Learning approach | Autonomous operation plus "shared autonomy" — human operators guide the robot so its AI can gather real task data |
| Role | Security, logistics, and general embodied-AI data collection |
Model Breakdown
EVE is best understood as a generational predecessor, not a current product line. 1X's progression runs EVE (wheeled) → NEO Beta (bipedal, capability proof) → NEO Gamma (refined bipedal home robot). Each step carried forward Revo1 motor know-how and embodied-AI training data.
Buyer's Guide: What to Know
EVE is legacy hardware. If you are evaluating a 1X robot, the current platform is NEO Gamma, not EVE.
The wheeled base is the key distinction. EVE traded the navigation flexibility of legs (stairs, multi-story homes) for the stability and simplicity of wheels — appropriate for its commercial-task focus, but a limitation 1X chose to overcome with NEO's bipedal design.
Its real legacy is the Revo1 motor and the data. EVE's lasting contributions are 1X's actuator technology and the years of real-world task data that underpin NEO's AI.
EVE vs Similar Robots
- EVE vs 1X NEO Gamma: NEO Gamma is the bipedal, home-focused successor; EVE was the wheeled, commercial-task predecessor.
- EVE vs Agility Cassie: Both are predecessor robots in their companies' lineages, but opposite in emphasis — Cassie was legs-only locomotion research; EVE was a wheeled upper-body manipulation/service platform.
- EVE vs AgiBot A2-W: Both are wheeled humanoids prioritizing stable indoor mobility over legged agility.
