OPENAI TREADS ON TESLA’S ROBOT TURF WITH 1X INVESTMENT
Norwegian robotics firm, 1X (previously known as Halodi), has secured $23.5 million in a Series A2 funding round led by the OpenAI Startup Fund. The funding will support the development of NEO, a bipedal android, and the scale manufacturing of EVE, 1X's humanoid security robot. This marks OpenAI's first investment in the robotics industry and could potentially put it in indirect competition with Tesla. Tesla has plans to launch a bipedal humanoid robot called the Tesla Bot or Optimus.
