Humanoid Robotics Technology
1X announces the acquisition of Kind Humanoid, uniting two robotics teams with aligned visions to advance humanoid technology.
“It’s rare to find someone who is not just a powerhouse engineer but also completely aligned philosophically and strategically on how humanoids as products should take shape,” said Bernt Bornich, CEO of 1X. “Having Christoph join the 1X team here in the Bay will accelerate our path to a world full of humanoid robots.”
Kind Humanoid’s unique expertise and culture complement 1X’s mission to create an abundance of labor through safe and intelligent humanoids. The relationship between the two newly joined companies is built on the foundational belief that humanoids need to be developed alongside humans– living and learning among us.
“Joining 1X feels like the perfect next chapter for Kind Humanoid,” said Christoph Kohstall, CEO of Kind Humanoid. “From starting out in a small garage to now becoming part of a team that shares our belief in humanoids living and learning among us, this acquisition brings our vision closer to reality. Together, we can create robots that truly connect with people and make a difference where it matters most.”
