A dream coming true for many! Meet NEO Gamma, the new humanoid robot that does all the house chores and recharges itself by the end of the day, ready for the next day's tasks. Also Read OpenAI considers building a humanoid robot NEO Gamma humanoid robot
The new robot is capable of handling all sorts of house chores, including cleaning, arranging, washing clothes and dishes, and preparing tea, coffee, and food.It was developed by 1X Technologies, an engineering and robotics company that produces androids capable of human-like movements and behaviors.
In videos shared by 1X, the NEO Gamma humanoid robot is seen serving coffee, helping hang a painting, and walking around with a laundry basket. According to the company, the robot will be equipped with advanced visual and language models, and once it finishes its daily tasks, it will recharge itself in preparation for the next day's work.
'Home Humanoid—your personal assistant and companion. NEO adds a sense of order and balance to your home life that lets you focus on important things,' 1X stated on their official website.NEO Gamma still needs to undergo a long list of tests to prove its safety and functionality. Notably, the company has not provided further details yet, but sources speculate that the price of the new humanoid robot will be approximately $30,000.It is worth noting that humanoid robots have not gained much popularity over the past few years, despite advancements in technology and innovation. Vacuum robots are the only well-known and most demanded robot-like machines.
This is mainly due to the fact that humanoid robots, especially domestic ones, need to prove high safety standards, as well as advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. However, 1X is primarily focusing on safety measures and developing AI techniques. Also Read NEOM and Samsung C&T invest $350M in construction robots

Global Oil Prices Drop Amid Middle East Tensions and Pre-Iran Talks - Jordan News
Oil prices fell on Thursday, giving up some of the gains made earlier in the Asian trading session as markets digested the U.S. decision to withdraw some personnel from the Middle East ahead of planned talks with Iran over its nuclear activities. اضافة اعلان Brent crude futures dropped by 49 cents (0.7%) to $69.28 per barrel as of 06:30 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell 41 cents (0.6%) to $67.74 per barrel. Both benchmarks had risen over 4% in the previous session, reaching their highest levels since early April. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. is relocating staff because the Middle East "could be a dangerous place," affirming that Washington would not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran, however, insists its nuclear activities are peaceful. The heightened tensions have increased fears of potential oil supply disruptions, especially with upcoming U.S.-Iran nuclear talks scheduled for Sunday. Vivek Dhar, Director of Mining and Energy Research at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, noted: 'Some of the rally that pushed Brent above $70 was likely overdone. The U.S. hasn't identified any direct Iranian threat.' He added that Iran's response would depend on any U.S. escalation, stating: 'The price correction makes sense, but a geopolitical risk premium is likely to keep Brent above $65 until the outcome of the talks becomes clear.' U.S. and Iraqi sources told Reuters that Washington is preparing for a partial evacuation of its embassy in Iraq, and will allow families of U.S. military personnel to leave various sites in the Middle East, including Bahrain, due to rising security concerns. Iraq is OPEC's second-largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia. Kelvin Wong, Chief Market Analyst at OANDA, said the price pullback followed a technical resistance level hit on Wednesday, with some traders speculating that Sunday's U.S.-Iran meeting might ease tensions. President Trump reiterated that if negotiations on Iran's nuclear program fail, particularly regarding uranium enrichment, the U.S. may launch military strikes. Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned on Wednesday that Iran would retaliate against U.S. bases in the region if talks collapse and conflict ensues. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to meet Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Amman on Sunday to discuss Iran's response to a proposed U.S. agreement. Separately, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a 3.6 million barrel drop in U.S. crude inventories last week, to 432.4 million barrels, surpassing analysts' expectations of a 2 million barrel decline.

Oil Prices Edge Down Slightly; Brent at $66.6 per Barrel - Jordan News
Oil Prices Edge Down Slightly; Brent at $66.6 per Barrel Oil prices slipped in early trading on Wednesday amid ongoing assessments of U.S.-China trade talks and concerns over weak crude demand from China, coupled with increased output from OPEC and its allies. اضافة اعلان As of 01:19 GMT, Brent crude futures fell by 24 cents, or 0.36%, to $66.63 per barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped by 21 cents, or 0.32%, to $64.77 per barrel. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Tuesday, following two days of intensive negotiations in London, that American and Chinese officials had agreed on a framework to halt mutual trade measures and address China's export restrictions on rare earth elements and magnets. Lutnick added that the outcome would be presented to President Trump for approval. Earlier this week, weak Chinese oil import data and the continued rise in output from the OPEC+ group—which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia—put downward pressure on prices. OPEC+ plans to increase oil production by 411,000 barrels per day in July. — (Reuters)

Gold Rises Amid Uncertainty Over U.S.-China Trade Deal - Jordan News
Gold Rises Amid Uncertainty Over U.S.-China Trade Deal Gold prices climbed on Wednesday as investor sentiment was shaken by ongoing uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-China trade agreement. This ambiguity boosted demand for safe-haven assets, with markets also awaiting key U.S. inflation data for further insight into economic trends. اضافة اعلان As of 03:50 GMT, spot gold rose by 0.5% to $3,339.60 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures increased by 0.5% to $3,361.20 per ounce. On Tuesday, U.S. and Chinese officials announced that they had agreed on a framework to revive their stalled trade truce, which includes lifting Chinese export restrictions on rare earth elements. However, there was little indication of a long-term resolution to the trade disputes that have persisted for years. Following two days of intense negotiations in London, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said his team would present the framework to President Donald Trump for approval, while the Chinese delegation would seek the same from President Xi Jinping. 'We know U.S. and Chinese negotiators have agreed on a framework, but until it's signed off by Trump or Xi, uncertainty lingers. This uncertainty is supporting gold ahead of key inflation figures,' said Matt Simpson, senior analyst at City Index. The U.S. and China imposed mutual tariffs in April, triggering a trade war. Talks in Geneva last month led to a tentative agreement to reduce tariffs from their peak levels. On Tuesday, the World Bank downgraded its 2025 global growth forecast by 0.4% to 2.3%, citing rising tariffs and growing uncertainty as 'significant hurdles' for nearly all economies. Investors now await the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, scheduled for release at 12:30 GMT, which may provide further guidance on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory. According to a Reuters poll of economists, the Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady for at least two more months, as inflation risks remain elevated, particularly due to President Trump's tariff policies.
