1X NEO
by 1X Technologies
#3 in Humanoids & robot dogsBest for chores
The home humanoid I'd reserve. NEO has a soft body, talks with a built-in LLM and does chores; a remote 1X expert you schedule can guide new tasks.
What’s good
- Soft body, quiet at 22 dB
- Lifts 154 lb and carries 55 lb
- About 4 hours per charge
Heads-up
- Pre-order; US deliveries start in 2026
- Unfamiliar chores need a scheduled remote expert
