Intro
EVE is a wheeled humanoid robot standing 1,830 mm tall and weighing 83 kg. Its upper body is humanoid in proportion, constructed from a combination of plastic, aluminium, and fabric, while its lower assembly uses a multi-terrain wheeled base that provides self-balancing locomotion at speeds up to 4 m/s (approximately 14.4 km/h). The arms are fitted with gripper-style hands designed for both precision manipulation and load-bearing tasks, supporting a maximum payload of 15 kg. EVE's 25 degrees of freedom are distributed as 7 DoF per arm, 6 DoF in the wheeled leg assembly, and 1 DoF each for the neck, hands, and wheel actuation. All joints are driven by 1X's proprietary Revo1 quasi direct-drive actuators, which combine a high torque-density brushless DC motor with a low gear-ratio cable-driven transmission, producing near-zero backlash, extremely low friction, and full-torque backdrivability for safe human co-working.
EVE's perception system comprises three high-resolution HDR cameras covering panoramic forward and rear fields of view, enabling computer vision-based obstacle detection, object recognition, and environment mapping. Onboard compute consists of an Intel i7 processor for real-time control tasks and an NVIDIA Jetson Xavier module for AI inference. The AI stack is driven by a customised GPT-4-based neural engine that processes natural language commands and uses a single vision-based neural network running at 10 Hz to coordinate driving, arm control, and grip functions simultaneously. Task learning occurs through embodied AI workflows developed in the 1X Studio, where the robot observes human demonstrations and iteratively refines task execution policies. A 1.05 kWh lithium-ion battery provides up to 4 hours (240 minutes) of continuous operation.
EVE runs on a custom Linux-based operating system and supports ROS2, OpenCV, and open-source robotics frameworks, with application development supported in Python, C++, and Java. As of 2025, EVE has been superseded by NEO as 1X Technologies' primary product focus, and the platform is no longer actively marketed to new customers. Its operational deployments remain in service at existing customer sites.
