Tired of chores? The NEO humanoid robot from 1X may be your new favorite roommate. It’s now available for pre-order either for $20,000 outright or $499 per month, with deliveries expected in 2026.
NEO humanoid robot built to handle real-world tasks
Shiftdelete.netUnlike concept bots stuck in labs, the NEO humanoid robot can lift, carry, and clean in real homes. It stands 5-foot-6 and weighs just under 67 pounds.
1X designed NEO with a tendon-driven locomotion system powered by high-torque motors. As a result, it can carry up to 55 pounds of items like laundry, groceries, or cleaning supplies, all while operating at just 22 dB of noise.
Gooloo F3 cordless air duster features 150,000 RPM max speed, 240-minute battery life, and ships with four nozzles for versatile cleaning.
It listens, learns, and adapts to new tasks
NEO uses two 8 MP cameras, four 360-degree microphones, and three speakers to engage with its surroundings. That setup allows it to see, hear, and speak clearly.
Because it runs on the Nvidia Jetson Thor AI platform, NEO can remember conversations, browse the internet for answers, and improve over time. When it encounters new chores, remote 1X Experts can guide it through the process.
How the NEO humanoid robot moves and charges
NEO isn’t limited to one spot in the home. It walks from room to room using its hands, each with 22 degrees of freedom, to interact with objects.
Its 0.75 kWh battery lasts up to four hours. Once the charge gets low, NEO returns to its docking station on its own.
Here’s what you get:
- 5G connectivity for indoor and dry outdoor use
- Soft polymer body for safety
- Swappable nozzles for different tasks
- Signature turtleneck for style (and padding)
Pre-order details and pricing
You can reserve the NEO humanoid robot now with a $200 deposit. After that, you’ll choose between a $20,000 one-time payment or a $499/month subscription.
A robot helper, not a sci-fi nightmare
While NEO can walk, talk, and handle real chores, it’s not autonomous in the sci-fi sense. It still depends on humans for guidance.
So if you’re worried about a rogue AI turning into a Terminator, relax for now. This robot just wants to fold your laundry.
