Summary:
1X’s NEO is a $20,000 consumer‑ready humanoid robot designed for home assistance, now upgraded with a powerful video‑based AI system that lets it learn new tasks on its own. It stands 5'6", weighs about 66 lb, and is built for safe, soft interaction while handling chores like cleaning, dishwashing, and plant‑watering.
Editorial:
1X NEO (Gamma Model): The Soft, Safety-Centric Companion
The Norwegian company 1X Technologies distinguishes itself by targeting the consumer and light-duty commercial spaces with a safety-first ethos. The NEO Gamma model features soft exterior covers and a proprietary Tendon Drive for joint actuation. This design choice is not just aesthetic; it’s engineered for safe human proximity and non-intrusive operation in homes, offices, and retail.
Standing at 5’4” and weighing just 66 lbs, NEO is approachable and equipped with features like "Emotive Ear Rings" and a three-speaker system for conversation and music. Its internal Redwood AI model enables it to perform tasks like tidying and cleaning, making it a pioneer in the "seamless domestic integration" trend.
The psychological leap. NEO is tackling the public’s fear of large, exposed robotics by making its robot look and feel gentle, inviting us to accept an android into our most private spaces.
