Big news in robotics—1X Technologies has acquired Kind Humanoid, bringing two innovative teams together to fast-track the development of humanoid robots. It’s a major step toward making household robots a reality.

Kind Humanoid, founded by Stanford scientist and ex-Google robotics expert Christoph Kohstall, has been on a mission to create robots that truly connect with people. Their creation, Mona, is a bipedal humanoid designed for homes and healthcare, combining cutting-edge design with AI-powered interaction. Now, as part of 1X Technologies, their vision is set to grow even faster. 1X, which raised $100 million last year, has been developing general-purpose robots to work safely alongside people.

With this acquisition, both teams are aligned on a shared goal: creating robots that learn by living among us, not just in labs. So, what’s next? While many companies focus on robots for factories and warehouses, 1X and Kind are betting big on robots for everyday life.

This partnership is a leap forward in bringing helpful, practical humanoids into our homes. Humanoid robots might not be here just yet, but they’re closer than ever—and soon, they might be lending a hand where we need it most
