Current evidence comparison for 1X EVE and ergoCub.

1X EVE

1X Technologies

Image: © 1X Technologies · official website

1X EVE is a wheeled humanoid from 1X Technologies (Norway/US) with a self-balancing wheeled base, 188 cm, 87 kg, 15 kg payload, 4 m/s top speed, and 6-hour official runtime. It is designed for security, logistics, and embodied AI data collection, with 25 DoF, 1-DoF grippers, HDR cameras, and shared autonomy. The strongest evidence is an Inverse-reported 2024 multi-robot voice-command office-tidying demo and directory claims of unnamed customer deployments since 2022; the weakest areas are no named customer metrics, no price, conflicting specs, and no independent autonomy verification. EVE is older than 1X's NEO and current availability is unclear

ergoCub

Italian Institute of Technology (IIT)

ergoCub is IIT and INAIL's research humanoid, standing 150 cm tall, weighing 55.7 kg, and designed to reduce physical strain on workers in industrial and hospital settings. Its strongest evidence is a peer-reviewed Nature Machine Intelligence figure showing collaborative payload lifting with a human and live walking on stage. Official IIT sources confirm the 2023 debut and ergonomic purpose, while secondary dossiers report about 10 kg load-bearing, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier plus Intel i7 onboard compute, depth/LiDAR sensing, and research claims such as up to 43% energy reduction and DNN-driven locomotion. However, no battery, runtime, walking speed, total DoF, hand DoF, price, or customer deployment exists in the reviewed evidence; autonomy is mostly simulation-only or title-only
