1X NEO

1X NEO is a home humanoid robot developed by Norwegian-American company 1X Technologies (formerly Halodi Robotics). The robot is designed for autonomous everyday household tasks — cleaning, putting away dishes, doing laundry — and is available for pre-order with a $200 deposit. This is the company's first consumer robot; 1X previously deployed the wheeled EVE robot in industrial environments.

NEO features a unique safety-first design: the entire body is covered with a soft 3D lattice polymer structure for impact absorption, joints are fully enclosed (no pinch points), and tendon-driven actuation delivers low inertia and 95% backdrivability. The deformable soft body combined with a light mass (~30 kg) and 70 kg lift capacity make NEO one of the safest humanoid robots for home use.

The robot's AI is based on Redwood AI — 1X Technologies' proprietary vision-language-action (VLM) model. It operates autonomously for known tasks; for new tasks the owner can schedule an Expert Mode session in which a remote 1X operator supervises and teaches NEO new skills. The onboard computer is the 1X NEO Cortex built on an Nvidia Jetson Thor module delivering up to 2070 TFLOPS FP4.
