Good question, Sophie!
They need farmland because it is flat, cheap, and easy to build on. Farms also have access to huge power grids. ⚡️
Our company was founded by a farmer and we’ve spent over a decade helping build and supply hardware for efficient AI data centers that minimize land and water use.
AI already helps farmers boost yields through precision tools and smarter resource use. Should keep getting better as it continues improving. 🚜
@elonmusk is putting them in space, which seems like a good idea 🚀
What do you think we could do to make sure farmland is protected?
@Grok got any good ideas? 💡

This Fourth of July marks a historic milestone as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.
To honor this special occasion, we’ve introduced a new logo that reflects both our American roots and our commitment to innovation.
The design features a bold “1X” with a Wyoming cowboy on the left and a powerful bald eagle at the center, set against the backdrop of the American flag with subtle circuit patterns representing our focus on advanced technology. Below, “America 250” commemorates this important moment in our nation’s history.
As we celebrate this milestone, we want to recognize the customers and partners who have placed their trust in 1X Technologies over the years. We’re proud to be part of the American tradition of innovation, resilience, and progress — values that continue to guide us as we develop high-performance solutions for industry and technology.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Wishing you, your team, and your families a safe, meaningful, and enjoyable Fourth of July.
Good points, Altan!
We’re working on a lot of this, and have been for a long time!
Industrial inspection like Rail companies need inspection bots (drones) for line checks.
Factories (OEM) need quadruped robots like @BostonDynamics Spot for safety inspections.
Undersea cables require undersea robots for inspection and installation.

When the foundational component in robotics gets so good that it removes traditional actuators and puts them inside the cabling technology, this is a “super cable.” @MIT
This is WILD!
MIT just solved one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics (Save this).
For decades, the fundamental problem with soft robots and wearable exoskeletons has not been compute or AI, it has been actuation.
The moment you try to give a soft robot meaningful strength, you run into the same wall every engineer has hit since the field began, fluid-driven systems require external pumps, hydraulic reservoirs, and heavy infrastructure that makes the entire thing impractical to wear or embed into fabric.
MIT's new Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles solve that problem by eliminating external infrastructure entirely.
The key insight is electrohydrodynamic pumping using electric fields to generate pressure directly from electricity, with no moving parts, no motors, and no external fluid reservoir.
The fibers are less than 2 millimeters thick, can be woven into fabric like ordinary textile, and operate in complete silence because nothing physically moves inside them, it is just ions propelling fluid through a closed circuit.
The performance numbers published in Science Robotics are not conceptual, they are empirical results from actual hardware.
These fibers achieve a power density of 50 watts per kilogram, matching skeletal muscle, with a contraction strain of 20% and a response time of 0.3 seconds.
A single bundled configuration lifted 4 kilograms, 200 times its own weight while a separate configuration drove a robotic arm through a 40-degree bend compliant enough to safely complete a human handshake.
Another configuration launched objects in under 100 milliseconds, which is faster than a human flinch reflex.
The design mirrors biological muscle architecture in a way that prior artificial muscle approaches never achieved.
The fibers are organized into antagonistic pairs, one contracts while the other extends, exactly like biceps and triceps and because the system runs in a closed loop, the relaxing fiber serves as the fluid reservoir for the contracting one, which is what allows the whole system to operate untethered with no external tank.
The applications are not hypothetical but rather are the exact use cases the industry has been waiting years for the hardware to catch up to.
Exoskeletons for physical labor, prosthetic limbs that move with the natural compliance of biological tissue, assistive garments for patients with motor disorders, and soft robots capable of safe physical contact with humans are all immediately unlocked by a muscle technology that is silent, lightweight, and weavable into clothing.
The deeper significance is what this technology does when it meets the AI robotics wave that is already underway.
Every major humanoid robot program, Figure, 1X, Boston Dynamics, Tesla Optimus is currently bottlenecked by the same hardware limitations these fibers address, actuators that are too rigid, too loud, too heavy, or too dependent on infrastructure to operate naturally alongside humans.
Electrofluidic fiber muscles do not just solve a materials science problem but rather they remove one of the last physical barriers between robots that live in labs and robots that live in the world.
Next Gen Cabling is the “future of Humanoid Robotics” 👀
This MIT electrofluidic fiber is a cable, full stop. It’s just the next generation: an active energy transmission device for robotics that does everything high-flex cables already do (support, motion, endurance) but adds internal actuation. It takes electrical input, pumps fluid via embedded helical electrodes in a closed loop, and converts that directly into mechanical contraction/expansion (20% strain, 50 W/kg, silent, untethered), and makes the system lighter.
In fact that’s the same cabling machine in their video used by many manufacturers in the wire & cable industry. (See https://t.co/nIMNRyuWIE for info on this)
Our first action as a company was sharing @MIT inform post on “tella operation”, and today we learn the future depends on next gen cabling. Full circle ⭕️
1X Technologies celebrates its 11th anniversary on May 15, 2026 — the eve of America’s 250th birthday. Founded in 2015 as a robotics and AI hardware company, 1X pioneered dexterous humanoid systems years ahead of competitors. Key milestones include the 2018 “Eye Opening” video, championing U.S. reindustrialization in 2019, the largest floating solar array in 2022, and full integrated robotics platforms in 2025. The company unveils a special America 250 logo and shares its full history.

Good points Kyle!
In Robotics, just like automotive the service economy is responsible for 10X the profits, and with 10 Billion+ humanoids, and billions of other robotics systems in industry 4.0, that could be a low estimate.
The number 1 failure point across robotics? Continuous motion parts, namely wireing harnesses and cable assemblies, as well as electronics connected to these systems. (The nervous system and foundational components that everything depends on)
1X Technologies has been manufacturing Robotics & AI hardware in the USA for over a decade, and we’ve been working towards building amazing future automation technology since day 1.
As we approach our 11th anniversary this week (5/15/15), we celebrate our American heritage, built in Cowboy Country! 🤠

@MollySOShea@adcock_brett@cover_thz Hey Brett! We work with @NASAJPL
A lot of beautiful cable technologies in this photo.
Contact us to deploy. We are a U.S. Government contractor for weapons and top secret programs.
We can help!

Hi Aaron,
We’ve been making parts for robotics and AI, and aerospace, and (the list goes on!) for over a decade.
We founded 1X Technologies on American made hardware. 🦾🇺🇸
Your American Shenzen article is good, along the same lines as the HBS book Producing Prosperity our founder was reading when he created 1XTECH back in 2015.
P.S. — 86 of the 100 companies in Morgan Stanley’s “Humanoid 100” are component suppliers.
1X® Technologies was founded in 2015 in America — while our founder was reading this book at @Harvard
Producing Prosperity: Why America Needs a Manufacturing Renaissance captured exactly what we believed then, and what we still believe today. @WillyShih_atHBS@GaryPisano
American manufacturing isn’t just about making things. It’s about rebuilding national strength, creating real jobs, and leading the next industrial revolution.
Reindustrializing America has been at the core of 1X from day one. It’s why we started. It’s why we continue investing in manufacturing, advanced robotics, and electronics, MADE IN THE USA.
The future isn’t coming.
We’re building it at 1X Lightning⚡️Speed!
