NEO

Canonical robot record

Overview

NEO is a general-purpose humanoid robot developed by 1X Technologies, a robotics company founded as Halodi Robotics and now headquartered in Palo Alto, California with manufacturing in the United States and Norway. It is designed to operate in the home, helping with routine domestic chores such as tidying, fetching items, and other everyday tasks.

Unlike industrial humanoids built for factories, NEO is engineered for safe, close interaction with people. Its body uses a soft polymer lattice and a machine-washable textile suit over tendon-driven actuators modeled on the human musculoskeletal system, giving it quiet, compliant movement intended to be unobtrusive in a household setting.

NEO learns tasks through 1X's Redwood AI system and improves over time. When it encounters a task it cannot yet perform autonomously, a remote human expert can step in to teleoperate and guide it, with that experience feeding back into the robot's learning.
