Social Robotics1X opens preorders for the NEO home humanoid at $20,000
The household robot, with a conversational interface and optional remote teleoperation, is due to reach US homes in 2026.
1X opened preorders for NEO, a humanoid designed for the home, priced at $20,000 for early access or $499 a month by subscription. The company said first deliveries would go mainly to US customers in 2026, with other markets from 2027. NEO includes a speech interface with memory across conversations, scheduled chores and privacy controls such as no-go zones and face blurring. For tasks it has not learned, owners can book a 1X operator to guide it remotely, a feature that drew debate about privacy and how autonomous home humanoids really are.
