Humanoid robotics event: 1X says one safety incident could hit the whole industry
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-18
At a San Francisco Humanoid Hub x HackerSquad event featuring 1X, Google DeepMind Robotics, and DynaRobotics, nearly every talk converged on safety as the gate to deployment. 1X's Dar: "One safety incident doesn't just affect your business. It can affect the whole industry." 1X designs capability for every industry but safety for the home. Eric Jang and Kanishka Rao both put general-purpose robots at "clear signs of life" within 2 years, with a Waymo-style long tail for safe deployment after that.
