The Neo1 is a 4-meter humanoid robot capable of lifting 500 kilos thanks to its hydraulic actuators.

Humanoid robots are here to help us, doing all sorts of jobs in industrial settings until they can sneak into homes to do household chores. Meanwhile, manufacturers continue to rely on robots capable of carrying out the heaviest and most hostile tasks. That’s how it is Neo1developed by NeodraDynamicsa robot 4 meters high and 1.2 tons in weight. The company promises that it will raise loads of 500 kilos and will withstand the harshest environments.

Neo1, the 4-meter humanoid robot that lifts 500 kilos

As we see in Gizmodo, Neo1 looks like Mazinger Zand is designed to enter mines, work in ports or factories. Your combination of electronic and hydraulic technology allows you to lift a load of up to 500 kilos, with 41 degrees of freedom that give you multiple movements to adopt different positions. Of these 41, 39 are hydraulic actuators developed by the company itself and only 2 are electric that have been placed on the forearms.

Its features are designed to meet the Most dangerous jobs humans can dosuch as loading goods in ports, working in mining facilities or assembling heavy machinery by lifting heavier parts. It is also designed to help in the event of a catastrophe, such as nuclear disasters or cleaning tasks at the bottom of the oceans.

Hydraulic actuators for lifting heavy loads

The main difference with the rest of humanoid robots is not only in its size and weight, which give it this carrying capacity, but in its actuators. In most robots these are electric, while in the Neo1 they are hydraulics to allow increasing the maximum weight it can handle.

But for the moment all this is the words of its manufacturer NeodraDynamics, since No tests have been carried out that can verify all these virtues. The company also ensures that the Neo1 can perform precise movements, another characteristic that NeodraDynamics must demonstrate.

Neo1 will be tested in real environments with the collaboration of JD

There is no date for Neo1 to be seen on the market, it has been seen in the China International Industry Fairwhich was held in Shanghai. The company is working with JD to begin tests in real environmentswhere you can demonstrate the worth and all the features that you have told us about this Neo1.
