1X Company recently demonstrated the latest upgrade of its humanoid robot, Neo Beta - cooking capabilities. In a cooking showdown with well-known food celebrities, Neo Beta successfully fryed five-point cooked steak, showing its amazing progress in fine operation. This display is not only impressive, but also triggers widespread thinking about the future application of humanoid robots, especially in the field of home services. Although Neo Beta still requires manual assistance in some key links, this marks another major breakthrough in AI technology in the field of robotics.
1X recently brought a major upgrade to its cutting-edge humanoid robot, Neo Beta, demonstrating its cooking capabilities for the first time. In a unique cooking showdown, Neo Beta competed on the same stage with Nick DiGiovanni, the youngest finalist in the "Cooking Master" and a well-known food celebrity, to challenge the production of five-point cooked steak.
This intelligent robot demonstrates a remarkable culinary talent and perfectly completes the steak making on its first attempt. It can handle basic operations such as seasoning to flip freely, fully demonstrating its outstanding ability in fine operation. However, it is worth noting that in key links such as firing, Neo Beta still needs human assistance.
At the technical level, Neo Beta adopts the VR Teleoperation App system independently developed by 1X, and realizes action control through Meta Quest. Although the robot already has the ability to use GPT-4 for real-time conversations, in this demonstration, the team chose to use manual triggering to communicate to ensure the stability of the demonstration effect.
Based on security considerations, 1X Company has adopted a cautious promotion strategy. Although Neo Beta performed well in the cooking test, considering the potential risks such as high temperatures and sharp instruments in the kitchen environment, the company decided not to open the cooking function to the first batch of users for the time being. They plan to give Neo Beta priority to accumulate experience in low-risk scenarios and then gradually expand to more challenging tasks.
This demonstration not only demonstrates the broad prospects of humanoid robots in the field of home services, but also highlights the current development status of AI technology: while achieving high automation, it is still necessary to maintain human-machine collaboration to ensure a balance between safety and efficiency. As technology continues to evolve, we are expected to witness humanoid robots unleash their potential in more fields and bring new possibilities to human life.
Neo Beta's cooking capabilities demonstrate the remarkable advances in the field of robotics, and also reminds us that safety and reliability are still crucial while pursuing technological breakthroughs. In the future, as technology continues to mature, we look forward to seeing more similar applications that bring convenience and changes to people's lives.
