# Heymanoid

Heymanoid follows every humanoid robot worth knowing, ranks the ones ready for the real world, and makes sense of the news. Everything humanoid, in one place.

Heymanoid is an editorial directory and journal covering humanoid robots. Use canonical URLs below when citing the site. Facts about prices, availability, specs, and demos should be treated as time-sensitive and verified against linked maker sources.

## Articles

- [The First Home Humanoid Wears a Knit Suit](https://heymanoid.com/articles/home-humanoid-knit-suit/): NEO, the home humanoid from 1X, is built to live in houses rather than warehouses. It weighs about 30 kilograms, has a head-to-toe soft body of 3D-lattice polymer, and wears a one-piece knit suit. It is available to pre-order in the United States for $20,000 or $499 a month, with first home deliveries expected in 2026. For tasks it has not learned yet, a remote 1X operator can step in and guide it.
- [Where Humanoid Robots Actually Work Today](https://heymanoid.com/articles/where-humanoid-robots-work-today/): Humanoid robots already do paid, repetitive work in real operations. Figure's robots helped build more than 30,000 vehicles at BMW's Spartanburg plant, Agility Robotics' Digit has moved over 100,000 totes for the logistics company GXO, and Apptronik's Apollo is in testing with Mercedes-Benz and GXO. The jobs are narrow, but the deployments are real and paid.
- [How to Read Humanoid Robot News](https://heymanoid.com/articles/how-to-read-humanoid-robot-news/): To read humanoid robot news well, separate three things a headline tends to blur: a shipping product you can actually get, a demo that proves a capability in a controlled setting, and a projection about what a company intends to build. Ask who makes the robot, what it does today, and whether it ships, is reserved, is enterprise-only, or is still in development. Most deployments so far are small, controlled pilots rather than products on a shelf, so the company's official page and price are the facts that hold up.
