"1X CEO Bernt Børnich told Business Insider that his startup's new " world model" would allow Neo to learn directly from video captured by the robot itself, rather than relying on data collected by human operators. "Essentially, the world model does the same thing as the operator would do," said Børnich, adding that he expected the update to improve Neo's ability to generalize and tackle tasks it has not encountered before."
"AI training has become an increasingly popular source of work, whether it's improving robots or large language models like ChatGPT. In robot training, operators often use virtual reality headsets, motion-capture suits, and controllers to "teleoperate" the machines through simple tasks, providing data that trains the humanoid's AI model to navigate the physical world. A spokesperson for 1X said the new world model "significantly reduces" the company's reliance on teleoperation, adding that data would likely largely be collected by the robots themselves in the future."
1X launched a new world model that lets Neo learn directly from video captured by the robot itself, reducing the need for human teleoperators and data collectors. Humanoid robot training traditionally relies on operators using VR headsets, motion-capture suits, and controllers to teleoperate machines through household tasks for data collection. The world model replicates many operator functions, enabling better generalization and handling of unfamiliar tasks. Intelligence scaling shifts to the number of deployed robots instead of operators. The update significantly reduces teleoperation dependence and points toward future data collection primarily by robots, with Neo slated for customer homes this year.
