specially designed to carry out household tasks,<\/strong> but its use is likely to spread to many other areas if it is sufficiently successful.<\/p>\nThis robot would be like having a butler<\/strong> at your disposal 24 hours a day, but without pay. While it could be useful to everybody, the main beneficiaries of NEO would be the people with mobility problems<\/strong> and of advanced age.<\/p>\nWhat can the NEO robot do?<\/h2>\n
NEO can take care of all household chores. This robot's anatomy is designed to resemble that of human beings.<\/strong>, It is therefore fully adapted to our world.\u00a0<\/p>\nUnlike other robots with a very rigid movement capability, NEO has great freedom of movement<\/strong>, This makes him very fluid when moving around and handling objects. He is also able to control their strength<\/strong> and apply it more gently or firmly depending on the task at hand.<\/p>\nNEO could then perform many tasks within the household, for example:<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Tidy up the house:<\/strong> NEO can pick up objects from the ground and put them back in place.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Assist with food preparation: <\/strong>It can chop vegetables, mix ingredients or lend a hand with other simple kitchen tasks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Cleaning surfaces: <\/strong>NEO could wipe tables, shelves and even windows with a cloth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Organising spaces:<\/strong> Reorganise objects in drawers, shelves or cupboards.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Transporting objects: <\/strong>Carrying things from one room to another.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Set up and remove the table:<\/strong> Helping to put out cutlery, glasses, tablecloths and plates for meals and then picking them up.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Load and unload the dishwasher: <\/strong>NEO could load dirty dishes into the dishwasher and unload them after cleaning.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Watering the plants: <\/strong>You could water the plants on a regular basis with a pre-scheduled timetable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Vacuum the floor:<\/strong> The rooms could be vacuumed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIs NEO safe?<\/h2>\n
Having a robot servant at home may sound cool, but it does make us question certain dangerous scenarios. As this concern is so common and so reasonable, 1X Technologies has prioritised safety first<\/strong> in designing NEO Beta.<\/p>\nFirstly, the robot is padded<\/strong> and is smooth to the touch, so it has no sharp or pointed edges. This is not the case with most robots, which expose their entire metal or plastic structure.<\/p>\nThanks to this well thought-out design, it is highly unlikely that NEO will accidentally cause damage to any furniture, people or itself. For example, if it were to collide with a table<\/strong>, If it does, it would not collapse and would not be left with any scratches. In principle, it is not even likely to collide with any static elements, as it has integrated sensors<\/strong> of movement<\/strong> highly developed.<\/p>\nIn addition, Scandinavian tech start-up has been testing NEO in many households for some time now.<\/strong> in order to gather feedback and address any shortcomings or omissions that could lead to a security problem.<\/p>\n
