A movie in which an android from OpenAI-supported robot company ``1X'' performs tasks with sophisticated movements, a slightly eerie sight that makes you feel the future

Norwegian humanoid robot maker 1X, which

raised $23.5 million (approximately 3.53 billion yen) from a fund led by OpenAI in 2023, created an android called EVE with a human-like body and wheel legs. A video has been released showing dozens of robots autonomously carrying things and opening doors.

This humanoid robot with a face made of LED lamps is 'EVE'. According to the official 1X website , EVE is 1.86 meters tall and weighs 86 kg.

EVE uses a two-fingered robot arm to pick up items from shelves and move them into cases. EVE that appears in the video is not remotely controlled by humans at all, and is entirely controlled by a visual-based neural network.

Some EVEs repeat actions like picking up things and putting them in a box. In addition, 1X emphasizes that this movie has no editing such as CG synthesis, cutting, or fast forwarding, and is completely at the same size.

Movement is achieved using a pair of wheels and supporting casters. Moving herself to the charging station, EVE grabbed the charging cable and connected it to herself.

It is also possible to open the door.

In the slightly dark room beyond the door, EVE was cleaning up the toys scattered on the floor.

1X trained a machine learning model using data collected from 30 EVEs to develop a 'base model' and then adjusted the model to enable EVE to perform its tasks.

What is noteworthy is the speed with which they are trained to master new tasks. 1X says, ``It is possible to implement new skills with just a few minutes of data collection and desktop GPU training,'' and ``1X's claim is important because general AI learning requires enormous computational power.'' ', pointed out the IT news site Live Science.

1X plans to

raise $100 million (approximately 15 billion yen) in January 2024 and launch a second-generation android called 'NEO' that does housework by walking on two legs instead of wheels. .
