Artificial intelligence for complex manipulation tasks and humanoid robots needs relevant data. 1HMX, a global provider of human-machine experience solutions, today announced Nexus NX1, a unified package of immersive technologies designed to maximize success in training and simulation for humanoid robotics, embodied AI, and virtual reality.

“With Nexus NX1, we’ve established a whole new product category that is vital to the future of humanoid robotics and virtual reality,” asserted Joe Baddeley, CEO of 1HMX. “This product epitomizes our 1HMX vision to be the leader of seamless, innovative, and intuitive humanmachine experience solutions.”

Coeur d’Alene, Idaho-based 1HMX said it provides human-machine interface (HMI) products, services, and technologies to serve the world’s most demanding industries. The company designs, manufactures, and sources HMI experience components, sub-assemblies and complete systems. They range from simple buttons and keypads to more complex touchscreens and immersive wearables.

1HMX added that it supports the full product lifecycle, from concept to production. The company operates six manufacturing facilities across the U.S., the U.K., India, Taiwan, and China.

Nexus NX1 supports VR, robotics, and AI

Nexus NX1 is a general-purpose tool designed to deliver realistic touch feedback, natural mobility, and full-body presence, said 1HMX. The system integrates HaptX Gloves G1’s tactile and force feedback, Virtuix Omni One’s 360-degree movement platform, and Freeaim’s motorized robotic shoes.

It also includes 72 degree-of-freedom (DoF) body and hand tracking and a software development kit (SDK) for integration with virtual reality (VR) and robotics applications.

Users of Nexus NX1 can get realistic real-time sensory input while also generating valuable output data that can be used for robotic control, AI training, or user performance feedback, explained 1HMX. In the process, the system can capture data, including:

  • 72 DoF full-body motion capture with sub-millimeter precision
  • Full user skeletal and soft tissue models
  • Precise tactile displacement and pressure data across hundreds of points on the fingers and palms
  • Center of mass location
  • High-fidelity locomotion heading and speed, foot-to-ground distance

1HMX envisions uses across industries

“For more than a decade I’ve been working toward creating a full-body, realistic simulation system for use in digital worlds,” said Jake Rubin, president of immersive technologies at 1HMX. “Nexus NX1 is a huge stride toward a fully immersive experience that will blur the line between reality and simulation.”

1HMX claimed that companies in manufacturing, medical, defense, research, and other industries can realize immediate value from Nexus NX1. It said its products can also be networked for compelling multi-user applications offering full-body avatars with actual human movement and interactions driven by real-time touch feedback.

“Nexus NX1 is game-changing for the human workforce of today and the robotic workforce of tomorrow,” said Joe Michaels, senior global vice president at 1HMX. “We’ve taken the award-winning touch feedback of HaptX Gloves and expanded to a complete, fully immersive system, which will give our customers a powerful edge as they tackle today’s labor challenges.”

Customers can now pre-order Nexus NX1, with shipments expected in Q2 2026. To pre-order Nexus NX1 or for more information including product specifications, visit the company’s website.

Iván Hernández Dalas: 4 Show Floor Takeaways from CES 2019: Robots and Drones, Oh My!

Image
We’ve had some time to recuperate from the madness of CES, in which more than 150,000 attendees and thousands of exhibitors displayed their latest gadgets, gizmos and yes, even robots, on the CES show floor. Last week’s reporter’s notebook focused on the collection of startups around the Eureka Park area of CES, but several of the same trends were evident on the main South Hall 2 area of the Las Vegas Convention Center, where drones, robotics, AR/VR, and gaming took center stage. While most of our time was spent at CES hosting the Service Robots Arrive in Daily Life event, we did have some time during the week to visit the show floor and record observations. Here’s what we saw on the show floor, as well as some of our own individual meetings: 1. Underwater drones make a big splash On the main floor, there was no busier aerial drone booth than the DJI booth, but that is expected given the company’s dominance in the space. But once you got past that, you noticed a lot more drone co...
