Bernd, a 1X representative, introduces NEO, the company’s home humanoid robot, and describes its design, household features, and planned path toward greater autonomy.
Bernd says 1X has spent about ten years working toward NEO. He connects the idea to stories about robots helping people spend more time on what matters, and hopes NEO can return time to households.
Bernd describes NEO as a home companion built with safety in mind, using a light, quiet body and energy-efficient movement. He says it can carry up to 55 pounds and has nimble hands, and that its washable knit outfit and customizable head and shoes are meant to make it comfortable to live with.
Users can schedule chores by voice or in the app, including recurring plant watering or general tidying. Bernd says 1X experts can supervise tasks NEO has not yet learned, and the app can show the robot’s point of view while the user is away.
Bernd says NEO can use its surroundings in conversation, such as identifying ingredients, locating belongings, and offering cooking or design suggestions. He describes Redwood AI as enabling basic household tasks, with future model updates intended to support more complex jobs such as finding keys or completing laundry.
Bernd acknowledges that NEO’s development will have setbacks and says its capabilities are expected to grow as 1X ships updates. He invites interested customers to preorder at 1x.tech.
