Description
NEO is 1X’s consumer-ready home humanoid. It is a soft-bodied, tendon-driven robot built to automate everyday chores and offer conversational help in the house. Pre-orders are open now with Early Access deliveries planned for 2026 (U.S. first) and a $499/month subscription option alongside an Early Access purchase at $20,000. Colors at launch are Tan, Gray, and Dark Brown.

Out of the box, NEO handles foundational tasks and grows with use. You can schedule “Chores,” like tidying or organizing, and it performs them autonomously. If it hasn’t learned a task yet, you can book a remote 1X Expert to guide it so the job gets done while NEO learns.
Interaction is fully voice-first. A built-in large language model pairs Audio Intelligence, Visual Intelligence, and Memory so NEO can recognize when you’re speaking to it. Neo can also use what it sees to help (e.g., suggest meals from ingredients), and remember preferences over time. A companion app lets you set schedules, check in remotely, and even pilot NEO (mobile/VR) when needed.

My mission, together with the team, is to help your organization understand the landscape, compare solutions, and move toward successful robot deployments.
The hardware is unusually human-safe: a soft 3D-lattice body, pinch-proof joints, low-inertia tendon drives, and HIC < 250 – plus a quiet 22 dB acoustic profile. Hands are IP68, the body is IP44, and NEO self-charges when needed.
Specs land squarely in “human-scale”: 168 cm, ~30 kg weight, up to 70 kg lift, 25 kg carry, and 22-DoF five-finger hands (44 DoF across both) for dexterity. Top run speed is 6.2 m/s, typical walking at 1.4 m/s
With an 842 Wh pack rated around 4 hours and a quick-charge note of “6 min per hour runtime.” Compute centers on 1X NEO Cortex (NVIDIA Jetson Thor) with dual 8.85 MP/90 Hz stereo fisheye cameras and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/5G built in.
