Although we haven't realized it, our homes have been filled with robots for decades: blenders, food processors, and, more recently, "Rumba"-style cleaning gadgets that autonomously navigate our homes in search of those elusive lint. But now it seems they want to replace all these small appliances with humanoid robots.
Aunque no nos hallamos dado cuenta, nuestros hogares hace décadas que están llenos de robots: batidoras, licuadoras, robots de cocina y últimamente artilugios de limpieza estilo "Rumba", que recorren de forma autónoma nuestra casa en busca de las esquivas pelusas. Pero ahora parece que quieren cambiar todos estos pequeños electrodomésticos por robots humanoides.
Norwegian robotics company 1X plans to begin testing its humanoid robot, Neo Gamma, in several hundred to thousands of homes by the end of 2025. The goal of these tests is to gather data on the robot’s performance in real-world environments, allowing 1X to improve its AI capabilities and overall functionality.
La empresa noruega de robótica 1X tiene planes de iniciar pruebas de su robot humanoide, Neo Gamma, en varios cientos o miles de hogares para finales de 2025. El objetivo de estas pruebas es recopilar datos sobre el desempeño del robot en entornos reales, permitiendo a 1X mejorar sus capacidades de inteligencia artificial y funcionalidad general.

Neo Gamma, unveiled in February 2025, is 1X's first bipedal prototype to be tested outside of the lab. This model incorporates an enhanced artificial intelligence system and a woven nylon suit designed to minimize risks during human-robot interactions. While Neo Gamma uses artificial intelligence to walk and balance, it is currently not fully autonomous and relies on remote human operators for more complex tasks.
Neo Gamma, presentado en febrero de 2025, es el primer prototipo bípedo de 1X que se probará fuera del laboratorio. Este modelo incorpora un sistema de inteligencia artificial mejorado y un traje de nylon tejido diseñado para minimizar riesgos durante las interacciones humano-robot. Aunque Neo Gamma utiliza inteligencia artificial para caminar y mantener el equilibrio, actualmente no es completamente autónomo y depende de operadores humanos remotos para tareas más complejas.
During a demonstration at the GTC 2025 conference, Neo Gamma performed basic tasks like vacuuming and watering plants, though it experienced some technical issues due to connectivity and battery life. These home tests will allow 1X to gather valuable data to train its internal AI models and improve the robot's capabilities.
Durante una demostración en la conferencia GTC 2025, Neo Gamma realizó tareas básicas como pasar la aspiradora y regar plantas, aunque experimentó algunos problemas técnicos debido a la conectividad y la batería. Estas pruebas en el hogar permitirán a 1X recopilar datos valiosos para entrenar sus modelos de inteligencia artificial internos y mejorar las capacidades del robot.

The humanoid robot Neo Gamma stands approximately 1.65 meters tall and weighs around 30 kilograms. Its design incorporates an aluminum frame covered in a seamless knitted suit, manufactured using Japanese Shimaseki technology, giving it a friendlier and less intimidating appearance in domestic environments, given its sizeable contraption.
El robot humanoide Neo Gamma mide aproximadamente 1,65 metros de altura y pesa alrededor de 30 kilogramos. Su diseño incorpora una estructura de aluminio recubierta con un traje de punto sin costuras, fabricado con tecnología japonesa Shimaseki, que le otorga un aspecto más amigable y menos intimidante en entornos domésticos, ya que es un artilugio considerable.
The 1X initiative is part of a growing interest in humanoid robots for domestic use. This deployment is an important step toward incorporating humanoid robots into homes, a concept that has long been the stuff of science fiction. For my part, I'd rather wait and see how it works; hitting yourself with a mixer isn't the same as hitting yourself with this thing.
La iniciativa de 1X se enmarca en un creciente interés por los robots humanoides para uso doméstico. Este despliegue es un paso importante hacia la incorporación de robots humanoides en los hogares, un concepto que ha sido objeto de ciencia ficción durante mucho tiempo. Yo por mi parte prefiero esperar a ver como funciona, no es lo mismo pegarte con la batidora que con este cacharro.

Humanoid robots, hmmm it's and all fun and games until one malfunctions and throws my dinner in the trash instead of the plate. I’ll wait till they can at least fold laundry without turning my shirts into origami bro 🤣🤣 but it's a very awesome start and eventually since it's machine, it'll be almost perfect at what it does
I am really careful of what the future holds most especially looking at the direction that we are heading to the word of robots

STOPHmmm the idea of robots in itself is a good idea but the disadvantages can be scary
