Key Features & Benefits
- Wheeled Mobility: Utilizes a self-balancing dual-wheel platform for efficient navigation in various indoor environments, including handling corners and elevators.
- Embodied AI Learning: Understands natural language instructions without specific commands, deconstructs complex tasks, and learns continuously from real-world interactions.
- Versatile Manipulation: Capable of handling both heavy boxes and fragile items with its dual gripper hands.
- Shared Autonomy: Can be operated remotely by humans (teleoperation), allowing the AI system to learn tasks through observation and guidance.
- Safety-Focused Design: Incorporates soft mechanics and has undergone rigorous testing to ensure safe operation alongside people.
- Autonomous Navigation: Perceives surroundings using cameras and sensors to navigate buildings and open doors independently.

More Information
EVE was developed using 1X's proprietary Revo1 motor technology, designed for low gear-ratio robotics, enabling high torque, low friction, and no backlash – crucial for self-balancing and dexterous manipulation. The robot learns through a combination of autonomous operation and shared autonomy, where human operators guide the robot, allowing the AI to gather data and understand physical tasks comprehensively. This embodied AI approach aims to make robots safer, more intuitive, and adaptable to real-world scenarios.
