Neo is a soft, tendon‑driven humanoid robot designed by 1X Technologies for safe, natural operation in everyday home environments. Weighing just 30 kg and powered by advanced NVIDIA Jetson Thor AI hardware, Neo combines 75 degrees of freedom with highly dexterous 22‑DOF hands, quiet movement, and self‑learning capabilities that enable it to perform household tasks, interact naturally, and support daily living.

Neo by 1X Technologies is a next‑generation humanoid robot engineered specifically for safe and natural operation inside everyday home environments. Unlike industrial‑oriented humanoids, Neo uses a soft, tendon‑driven actuation system that mimics the human musculoskeletal structure, enabling smooth, compliant, and quiet movements that minimize risk during physical interaction. Standing approximately 165–170 cm tall and weighing just 30 kg, Neo is one of the lightest full‑size humanoid robots available, making it easy to operate around families, pets, and elderly individuals.

With a total of 75 degrees of freedom—including highly dexterous 22‑DOF hands—Neo provides exceptional manipulation capabilities for household tasks such as tidying, organizing, carrying items, and assisting with daily routines. Its soft 3D‑lattice polymer body, machine‑washable exterior suit, and fully pinch‑proof joints reinforce its focus on safe home operation. Despite its lightweight profile, Neo can handle payloads of around 20–25 kg and move at speeds up to 1.4 m/s, enabling efficient mobility throughout the home.

Neo is powered by the 1X Cortex computing platform built on NVIDIA Jetson Thor, providing substantial local AI processing for real‑time perception, language understanding, and multimodal decision‑making. Its Redwood AI and world‑modeling systems allow Neo to learn new tasks through self‑generated experience rollouts, reducing the need for manual training data. Neo supports natural conversation, gesture recognition, and emotion‑responsive behavior using its integrated vision‑language models and sensor suite, which includes dual wide‑angle cameras, tactile sensing, and a microphone array.

To ensure practical day‑to‑day use, Neo features autonomous charging behavior and remote teleoperation via mobile app and VR. This hybrid system allows users—and 1X experts when permitted—to guide Neo through complex tasks and accelerate its skill development. Neo operates for up to four hours per charge, depending on workload, and is designed for home assistance, elderly care, companionship, education, and personal productivity. Early access pre‑orders are available starting at $20,000 or via a $499/month subscription, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026

imu

Neo includes an integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), depending on the specific model configuration. The IMU provides real‑time orientation, acceleration, and motion data, supporting stable locomotion, balance control, and precise movement tracking during household tasks. Some versions feature enhanced IMU capabilities for improved navigation and interaction performance.

feature_bullets

Neo offers a hybrid programming and interaction interface designed for both non‑technical users and advanced developers. Instead of relying on a traditional SDK, Neo is controlled through a combination of natural language commands , gesture recognition , and AI‑driven task learning powered by its built‑in large language model and Redwood AI system. Users can teach Neo new skills through demonstration, voice interaction, or guided teleoperation via the mobile app or VR interface.

For complex workflows, Neo supports remote expert supervision , allowing 1X operators (when permitted by the user) to help the robot learn new behaviors. While Neo does not expose a full low‑level developer API yet, its AI‑native interface enables flexible task automation, adaptive behavior, and continuous learning without manual programming. The system is designed to evolve over time, with future software updates expanding its developer‑facing capabilities.

lidar

Neo does not include a LiDAR sensor according to currently published specifications. Its perception system relies on a combination of RGB cameras, depth sensors, and additional tactile and inertial sensing to achieve navigation, object detection, and safe interaction. This camera‑first approach aligns with 1X Technologies’ focus on lightweight, home‑safe design rather than industrial‑grade LiDAR‑based mapping

ai_capabilities

Neo is equipped with advanced AI capabilities built around the 1X World Model , Redwood AI , and a built‑in large language model for natural conversation and home‑task learning. The robot uses its NVIDIA Jetson Thor–based 1X Cortex computing platform to run real‑time multimodal perception, reasoning, and action planning. This enables Neo to understand gestures, recognize objects, interpret human expressions, and perform household tasks using vision‑language intelligence. [1x.tech] , [humanoid-robots.io]
