Social Robotics1X starts full-scale NEO production in California
The home humanoid maker opened a Hayward factory ahead of planned consumer shipments in 2026.
1X Technologies began full-scale production of its NEO home humanoid at a new 58,000 sq ft plant in Hayward, California, with vertically integrated manufacturing including in-house motor production. The company said the first year of output had sold out within days of pre-orders opening in October 2025, with early units going to research, internal home testing and factory logistics before public shipments later in 2026. NEO is one of the first humanoids marketed directly to households, so its rollout is a key test of whether people will welcome a human-sized robot into the home.
