Meet NEO: The New Home Robot from 1X 🤖
A Norwegian startup has just opened pre-orders for NEO, a household humanoid robot designed to handle everyday chores — cleaning, laundry, fetching things, and more.
This is one of the first home robots you can actually buy.
But don’t expect miracles just yet. Although NEO is marketed as “autonomous,” there’s a catch: in complex situations, a remote human operator will step in to guide the robot and complete the task.
There’s also a data trade-off — your robot will be constantly sending information back to the company. Technically, you can opt out, but that might limit what NEO can do for you.
On the bright side, 1X promises to blur human faces on camera feeds, and you can define “no-go zones” inside your home. You’ll also be able to check in remotely and see what your robot is doing in real time.
If you’re comfortable sharing some data, NEO could become genuinely useful over time — and you’ll be helping 1X train the next generation of humanoid robots.
