Bernt Børnich is the CEO of 1X, a pioneering company in humanoid robotics. As a science nerd and roboticist from an early age, Bernt co-founded the company in 2014 with the mission to create humanoid robots that can work alongside people to meet the world's labor demand and build an abundant society.

Bernt's passion for electromechanics, computers, and innovation led his team to be among the first companies to offer a humanoid robot to the commercial market. Today, its android EVE is deployed in the US security industry, and its new two-legged android, NEO, is being built for general-purpose use, supporting multiple industries and even personal assistance.
