The race for humanoid robots heats up, as companies like Tesla and 1X push forward with AI-powered machines. One of the latest contenders, 1X’s NEO, promises to to assist with everything from cleaning to companionship.
A new humanoid robot, NEO, promises to change the way we manage household tasks. Developed by 1X, a company with bases in both Norway and Silicon Valley, NEO is powered by cutting-edge artificial intelligence. The robot is designed to assist with everyday chores like laundry, cleaning, and tidying, giving users more time to focus on other activities.
According to CEO Bernt Bornich, NEO is not just a mechanical helper—its AI allows it to perform complex household tasks with a level of intelligence that goes beyond traditional robots. Bornich explained that the robot is being piloted in homes and is expected to handle a variety of tasks in the long term. “In the future, NEO will be doing your laundry, cleaning your house, and tidying up, essentially giving you back a lot of time in your life,” he said.
Beyond its practical applications, NEO is also designed to be an interactive companion. He emphasized that the robot can engage in meaningful conversations, provide entertainment, and even teach users new things.
In addition to these features, NEO offers a unique ability to be remotely controlled by users from anywhere in the world. This teleoperation feature allows people to "teleport" into their robot and perform tasks from a distance. Whether it's feeding a pet, closing a window, or checking on the house, users can interact with the robot as if they were physically present.
Although still in development, 1X plans to release the market-ready version of NEO in 2025.
