so today we finally got the long awaited demo from the Brilliant Minds at 1 x robotics a company focused on physical embodiment for AGI and one that is backed by the infamous openi so what you're about to see is the 1X Neo beta it's going to be a 30 second clip that allows you to visualize not only how advanced this robot truly is in terms of its movement and Agility but what the future of humanoid robotics is going to look like [Music] yeah so there you have it the first 30 seconds that I think truly
shows us what the future might look like in terms of humanoid robotics the reason that I believe this demo is probably one of the most outstanding demos I've seen in my entirety of Robotics so far is because of the fluidity of this robot namely one of the first things that I've seen many individuals on Twitter actively discussing is the fact that this robot is arguably one of the only ones where many people are debating whether or not it's actually a human inside the suit and I would say that that is most likely the biggest compliment
that you could probably get for someone who works at 1X robotics because if people are discussing how much this looks like a human to the point where they don't even believe that it's a robot I would say that they've done a completely fantastic job so so one of the things that we do have to take a look at from this demo is of of course this first part so what we can see here is that Neo patiently waits for the woman to actually finish tying her shoelaces and then I think one of the most impressive
things that I actually haven't seen any other humanoid robot companies do this successfully yet which goes to show that this robot is actually arguably rather a little bit more advanced than anything I've seen on the current market but we can see that this robot manages to successfully bend over and then of course pick up an item quite like how a human would now I know many people might think okay and I even saw this comment a few times on Twitter that this task is quite useless but you have to remember that these humanoid robots are
going to be helping out millions and millions of people especially those who are quite elderly whose hips aren't exactly in the best position to be doing this kind of movement considering that joints as you get older and your movement is quite reduced they tend to fail more often now what we also see at this moment is we also see the fluidity of the robot in terms of the humanoid movement and it's remarkably effective at demonstrating how agile the robot is considering the fact that this is in all one time speed now the reason I bring
up the fact that this is in one time speed is because throughout numerous demos that are demonstrated to us we often see that in the top right hand side there is usually a you know 10 time speed or a five time speed and this is usually because robots are usually quite slow to move considering the fact that they do suffer from the fact that they aren't as agile as humans are just simply because making robots that are that fast is something that is incredibly hard considering the physical limits of certain robot so this is remarkable
considering how human and how fluid and how fast these movements are which brings the first real shock to show us okay this is going to be most likely how future robots are going to be operating in terms of their fluidity now I think that what 1X robotics have done here with their aim which is to of course utilize the complex system of bioinspired actuators mimicking human muscles for a level of dexterity and precision that we've simply never seen before is just remarkably you know accurate and I think what we can also see here as well
is that we can see that Neo's Vision system works rather well in order to track this individual as they manage to walk away we can see that Neo manages to look around although yes we will get more information but on closer inspection if you do look right here we can see that there does seem to be around two cameras that Neo is likely using for Advanced Vision and sensing now one of the features that you may have overlooked is as Neo come towards this person so as the woman returns Neo smoothly extends his arm for
a hug and this gesture may seem simple but it actually demonstrates the incredible safety features built into Neo's design his compliant soft exterior ensures A Gentle Touch even if he were to accidentally bump Pinel someone and this robot is basically designed for a harmonious coexistence with humans and not dominants now this wasn't the only demo that they did show us for Neo they also showed us another demo in a different environment that shows us just how incredible Neo is at adapting to other scenarios right here what you're about to see is this kitchen scenario with
Neo so what we can see here is the 1X robotics Neo gracefully navigating a kitchen dishwasher and of course unloading the dishwasher with smooth fashion now what we need to notice here is Neo's actual Precision when completing these tasks when Neo is grabbing the glasses and when he actually grabs the cabinet doors we can see that there is a really nice level of precision that leads to full task completion now later on in this short demo one of the things that I really liked was we did get to see Neo interacting with certain objects that
require a level of delicacy and precision that mimics the subtlety of human touch robots must be capable of exerting the you know just right amount of force and not too much force because if it's too much force it's going to crush the egg and if it's too little Force then it's going to drop the egg so this involves sophisticated sense of feedback Advanced algorithms that allow for adaptive manipulation and achieving this balance is actually quite complex and it requires a combination of sensitivity nuance control and real-time decision- making that even state-of-the-art robotic systems find difficult
to replicate however we can see that Neo manages to do this task quite effortlessly and I think this demo perfectly highlights that yes this is actually a robot and not a human in a costume considering we can see that there is this harness that the robot is in showing us that is connected to something else now if you do head on over to the Neo web page we also do get to see this demo right here and I think this one is probably a little bit even more fascinating because we see Neo in a range
of different tasks that most humans are currently engaged in on a day to-day basis now the reason I like this video a lot more is because we do see certain tasks that require a level of precision and not only that but a level of strength that I think is going to be needed in humanoid robots the first clip that we do see is Neo being able to grab a mountain bike and then of course in fact not a mountain bike looks like a racing bike and then of course pick it up which is showing us
just exactly how strong this humanoid robot is going to be the next scene that we do get after the bike scene is Neo being able to wipe up some crumbs or some mess but the scene that I do want to focusing on is Neo actually managing to pour the cocoa beans into the coffee machine and the reason I think this one is so impressive is because having a humanoid robot that's able to do these tasks they do require a level of precision that most humanoid robots do struggle with the problem with you know a lot
of humanoid robots is that when you're trying to generalize certain tasks it becomes harder with tasks that require a lot more Precision because the degree of error that robots have to try and account for is really really thin on tasks like like these where you have to really get everything precise or the task is going to fail for example slot inserting things in you know tasks that humans would find incredibly easy these are tasks for robot that they would find extraordinarily hard given the level of complexity that these systems currently operate at now many people
have questioned if these robots are going to do the big thing which is of course walking and the CEO did say that our approach to walking is fully learned all the way down to talks and basically I'm going to explain to you guys this entire statement so they said that this memed that this robot's walking ability is entirely based on machine learning rather than pre-programmed movements and the learning process goes down to the level of controlling the torque which is the rotational force in each joint and this approach allows for a more adaptable and more
natural movement now it does mention that this is still of course a work in progress and whilst they're acknowledging that they made you know significant progress the walking capabilities are still not yet perfected and are still being improved although I do think they do look pretty cool now it does say that the goal is to have it walking and as running as efficient as natural as a human by the end of the year and this actually sets an ambitious Target for the robot's Locomotion capabilities and this statement actually highlights 1X capabilities and commitment to creating
highly Advanced humanoid like robotic movement using Cutting Edge machine learning techniques and it also shows the amb vicious timeline for achieving human level Locomotion capabilities in their robot founder did also State some other things on Twitter that you might want to be aware of he said 20 degrees of freedom and this refers to the number of independent movements or joints the robot has more degrees of freedom allow for more complex and humanlike motions the grip strength enough for Neo to deadlift 70 kg the robot hands are strong enough to lift about 70 kg which is
around 150 4 lb in a deadlift which is quite impressive for a humanoid robot now tendon driven with Force control the robot uses a tendon based system similar to human muscles and tendons for movement with precise control over the force applied and this allows for more natural and adaptable movements he then states that it is naturally compliant and safe and this means that the robot is designed to be flexible and yield when interacting with its environment or humans making it safer to work alongside people now it says designed for a thousand Falls between failure which
indicates high durability and the robot can withstand up to a th000 Falls before experiencing a significant failure showing its robust now true skill transfer from Human experts requires matching Dynamics and kinematics between droids and operator now what they mean by this statement is that the robots movement and Dynamics and Droid configurations the kinematics basically need to closely match those of humans and this basically allows for accurate replication of human skills and movements now I do know that like I said at the start some people were speculating on whether or not this was actually a human
in the suit but of course like I said before even though there was this post that was going around saying that there's no way an actor needed for robotics demo the community notes shows us that this is fake and this is actually a humanoid robot so let me know what you think about this Advanced humanite robot do you think it's going to be interesting that in the future future AI systems GPT 5 GPT 6 might be completely embodied by humanoid robots thus allowing them to engage in a variety of different tasks now if you enjoyed
this video and you simply cannot get enough of 1x robotics Neo you can actually check out the first episode of season 2 S3 which is a online documentary series from Jason Carman where he does in-depth interviews with the innovators of our time it's a 20-minute video that goes behind the scenes on what actually Neo is so I think you guys would all enjoy it
