Intro
Striking Presence: The Physical Design of EVE
EVE, developed by 1X Technologies, is a striking humanoid robot designed for both functionality and approachability. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 meters) tall and weighing 192 pounds (87 kg), EVE features a sleek, modern chassis formed from a combination of plastic, aluminum, and fabric. The robot’s head and torso are humanoid, but instead of legs, EVE is equipped with multi-terrain wheels, granting it a unique, self-balancing mechanism. Its arms have dexterous, gripper-style hands capable of precise manipulation, reflecting its design focus on both agility and safety.
Cutting-Edge Engineering: EVE’s Technical Mastery
EVE is powered by a proprietary Revo1 quasi direct-drive technology, which combines high torque and precision with low friction—supporting its 25 degrees of freedom (DoF): seven in each arm, six in the leg assembly, and one each in the neck, hands, and wheels. Its sensory suite includes high-resolution HDR cameras offering panoramic views and depth perception, allowing for robust computer vision and autonomous navigation. Internally, EVE runs on Intel i7 processors for real-time control, paired with Nvidia Xavier modules for advanced AI inference. With a sizable 1.05-kWh lithium-ion battery, EVE achieves up to six hours of continuous operation and can travel at speeds up to 9mph (14.4km/h), carrying payloads up to 33 pounds (15kg).
Beyond Human-Like: EVE’s Dynamic Skills and Abilities
EVE excels in environments where versatility, autonomy, and safe human-robot interaction are essential. Thanks to advanced AI and embodied learning powered by a customized GPT-4-based neural engine, EVE can interpret and execute voice commands, chain together complex tasks, and learn new skills through observation. Its capabilities include autonomous item retrieval, precise object manipulation, mobility across varied terrains (even navigating elevators and stairs downward), as well as collaborative, multi-robot operation for large-scale or sequential tasks. EVE can be remotely managed or function entirely independently in environments like homes, warehouses, and offices, assisting with cleaning, cooking, security, and logistics.
Shaping the Future: The Vision and Mission Behind EVE
1X Technologies designed EVE with the goal of meeting global labor demands and enhancing both home and workplace environments with safe, adaptable robotics. The robot is intended as a general-purpose assistant—capable of learning new tasks rapidly and integrating seamlessly with people and processes. Safety is a core design objective, with real-world trials emphasizing reliable and gentle interaction. By combining physical adaptability with natural language understanding and vision-based AI, EVE aims to redefine automation and supported living, paving the way for scalable, intelligent humanoids that improve productivity and quality of life.
