A robot that can handle any household task and keep you secure
'CyberGuy': This robot is a jack-of-all-trades
Kurt Knutsson introduces you to EVE, a smart and versatile humanoid robot that uses a modified version of AI and Chat GPT-4 to handle a variety of tasks.
Have you ever wished you had a helper who could do anything you asked, such as cleaning, cooking, shopping, tutoring, or even guarding your house? Well, now you can, thanks to 1X, the Norwegian company that created EVE, the humanoid robot that can perform a range of tasks.

The humanoid robot, by the numbers
EVE is an advanced humanoid robot that looks and moves like a human but with some extra features. EVE is equipped with cameras and sensors to perceive and interact with its surroundings. Eve is 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighs 192 pounds, can travel 9 mph at its top speed, has a 33-pound carry capacity and can run six hours on a single one-hour charge.

Its mobility, dexterity, and balance allow it to navigate complex environments and manipulate objects effectively. EVE has wheels and gripper hands, so it can assist humans in various tasks such as cleaning and cooking.

How does the humanoid robot use AI?
EVE is a smart and versatile Android that uses a modified version of GPT-4, the same software that powers ChatGPT, to handle a variety of tasks. Whether you need a recipe suggestion, a dishwashing assistant or a cookie baker, EVE has got you covered.
With OpenAI’s backing, EVE is leading the way for a new generation of robots that can take care of our everyday chores in homes and warehouses. EVE can work independently, using artificial intelligence to navigate and perform tasks.
But what makes EVE truly amazing is its ability to see and create. EVE can scan your kitchen shelves and come up with delicious recipes based on the ingredients it finds. It uses GPT-4V software to process visual inputs and generate creative recipes. And it doesn’t stop there. EVE can also execute the recipes with its nimble ‘hands’ that are powered by rope-like muscles.

How can the robot perform in different environments?
EVE is designed to help and excel in many different environments, such as:
1) At home: EVE can assist you with personal or professional needs, such as cleaning, cooking, and tutoring, using its human-like appearance and behavior to provide friendly and reliable service.

How does the robot work with humans?
EVE works alongside trained human operators, who can control a fleet of up to 15 EVEs, tap into their cameras, and control their movement to take action from a distance. EVE operates autonomously by default, but it can report back to the operator if it detects an issue or needs guidance. The operator can then assume shared autonomy, which means they can take over EVE’s motor function when it’s time for a human to take action or make important decisions.

What are the benefits and challenges of humanoid androids?
Humanoid androids like EVE can automate repetitive, dangerous, or physically demanding tasks that humans traditionally handle. This can save time, money, and resources, as well as improve safety, quality, and efficiency.

Humanoid androids also pose some challenges and risks
Will human robots like EVE replace or complement human workers? Also, a big concern many of us have is how do we ensure humanoid androids are reliable and secure? It is important that the companies that manufacture them make sure they prevent them from malfunctioning or being hacked.
