NEO is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 66 pounds. It can lift up to 154 pounds and carry up to 55 pounds.
NEO has five human-like fingers and palms, allowing it to perform the delicate movements needed for household chores.
It uses actuators inspired by human tendons and muscles, achieving both safety and quietness.
The interior is covered with a soft lattice material so the mechanical parts are not exposed.
The surface is covered with knitted fabric.
He also wears gloves.
Her round eyes are cute.
NEO is equipped with AI and can have voice conversations with users.
You can have it do various household chores via a smartphone app.
Watering
Tidying up scattered clothes
Organizing shoes
cleaning
laundry
It can handle a variety of household chores, including clearing out the dishes in the dishwasher.
It also charges the battery itself.
You can also show them a bottle with something in it and have a conversation like, 'Is this paprika powder?' 'No, it's cayenne pepper.'
It can also be used as a handy servant, opening doors for you when your hands are full or clearing away cups after you've finished drinking.
The Wall Street Journal, a financial newspaper, has published a video interviewing Børnich and showing him actually using NEO.
In tests conducted by the Wall Street Journal, NEO was able to 'attempt' a variety of human tasks, but it took more than a minute to grab a glass of water from the refrigerator and five minutes to load three glasses and dishes into the dishwasher.
Additionally, during the testing phase, NEO was unable to perform various operations autonomously and was remotely controlled by an employee wearing a headset.
The data collected through remote control will be used as training data to improve NEO.
Børnich explained that customers who purchase NEO in 2026 should understand that it may be remotely controlled by humans. He went on to say, 'We can't improve the product without your data,' and 'If you buy NEO in 2026, most of the work will be done automatically,' highlighting the fact that the NEO at the shipping stage will be more advanced.
1X Technologies is currently recruiting employees to operate NEO and collect data.
