Overview

The most prominent consumer home humanoid, with a soft knit suit, low mass and low-noise tendon actuators. It follows the 2024 NEO Beta and early-2025 NEO Gamma prototypes and the wheeled EVE. Pre-orders opened in October 2025 and 1X opened a factory in Hayward, CA in April 2026. As of mid-2026 no verified customer delivery had been reported, and early units rely partly on teleoperation by 1X staff for tasks the AI cannot yet do.
