1X unveils NEO Beta ahead of home pilots

The soft-bodied humanoid prototype was presented as 1X prepared to place units in selected homes.

1X Technologies showed NEO Beta, a legged successor to its wheeled EVE robot, designed for consumer use in the home. Instead of a hard shell it wears a soft suit with cushioned padding, and the company stressed safety features such as avoiding pinch points. 1X said a limited number of units would go into selected homes for research and development. The Robot Report noted that safety standards for humanoids in domestic settings were still being worked out.
