1X Technologies builds NEO, a humanoid designed for the home rather than the factory floor. As of the Week of November 9, 2026 board, 1X ranks eighth on the Androids.com Robot Rankings.
Said vs. Did: 1X’s promises, tracked →
NEO's defining feature is its soft, compliant, fabric-covered body, built for safety around people and pets. At 30 kg it is far lighter than rigid industrial humanoids. 1X has confirmed that NEO units now help build more NEOs on its own factory floor.
