Redwood

1X's vision-language-action model for its home humanoid NEO, running entirely on the robot's onboard GPU.

Redwood was released by humanoid robot company 1X Technologies in June 2025. It is a roughly 160-million-parameter vision-language-action (VLA) model — it looks at the camera feed, listens to instructions, and outputs actions directly — running entirely on the onboard embedded GPU of the NEO Gamma robot, producing actions at about 5 Hz, and continuing to work even with a poor network connection. It targets mobile manipulation around the home, such as picking things up while walking or opening doors, and can coordinate walking, arm movement, and pelvis posture commands at the same time, enabling behaviors like bending down to pick something up or bracing against a wall with the free hand while pulling open a heavy door. Training data comes from teleoperated and autonomous episodes recorded on 1X's two robot generations, EVE and NEO, in offices and employees' homes, with failure episodes included in training as well. Users can give instructions through voice conversation.

ExampleA user tells NEO, 'bring me the cup on the kitchen counter,' and Redwood controls it to walk to the kitchen, pick up the cup, and bring it back.
