If it were human

“Like a quietly competent librarian who never raises their voice, NEO moves through your home with deliberate, unhurried grace — tidying, helping, never demanding attention.”

NEO is a home humanoid robot developed by 1X Technologies, a Norwegian-American company built around a straightforward philosophy: a robot that lives alongside people must feel genuinely safe near them. Standing 1.65 m tall and weighing just 30 kg, NEO is notably compact and lightweight for a full humanoid, making it well suited to moving through the everyday spaces of a real home.

Safety and comfort have shaped every aspect of NEO’s physical design. Its tendon-driven joints are wrapped in a knitted soft suit that eliminates hard edges, suppresses sudden jerks, and keeps operating noise remarkably low — qualities that matter when a robot shares a living space with people rather than a controlled industrial environment.

NEO is designed to handle everyday household chores, and it learns through a practical feedback loop: when it encounters a task it hasn’t mastered yet, a human teleoperator can guide it remotely, and those guided sessions are how it builds new skills over time. This approach means NEO grows more capable the longer it is used, without requiring owners to wait for software updates alone to expand its abilities.

Consumer pre-orders opened in 2025 at around 20,000 USD, with a monthly subscription option also available for those who prefer it. Unlike many robots that exist primarily as demonstration pieces, NEO is explicitly built for the ordinary rhythms of domestic life, making it one of the first humanoids genuinely aimed at everyday home adoption.
