Overview

NEO is 1X Technologies' consumer humanoid robot for the home, designed to autonomously do household chores and double as a conversational companion. It pairs a soft, knit-suited body and patented Tendon Drive for quiet, compliant motion with 22-DOF hands for dexterous manipulation. When a task is beyond its autonomy, a remote human operator ('Expert Mode') can pilot it via VR.

Capabilities

Patented Tendon Drive: backdrivable, low-inertia motion at ~22 dB with no external pinch points for safe operation around people
22 DOF per hand (75 DOF total) for human-level dexterity; lifts up to 154 lb and carries 55 lb
1X NEO Cortex compute (NVIDIA Jetson Thor) up to 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS, running the Redwood vision-language-action model plus an onboard LLM
'Expert Mode' teleoperation lets remote 1X operators pilot NEO in VR to complete tasks it can't yet do autonomously
Soft, machine-washable knit body with IP68 fully-submersible hands and an IP44 splash-proof body
