Humanoid Robot Makers

1X builds NEO for household chores, including putting away dishes and helping with everyday routines. The robot has a soft outer body, covered joints and a washable suit. 1X lists a weight of 66 pounds, about 30 kilograms, and a four-hour runtime in its published hardware specifications. Owners can speak to it or use an app to schedule chores and monitor it remotely, according to the NEO order page.

The company advertises ownership for $20,000 through its Early Access programme, with priority US deliveries scheduled for 2026. A $499 monthly subscription is planned to ship later. Reservations require a refundable $200 deposit, and the ownership package includes a three-year warranty and premium support.

Early owners should expect basic autonomy at arrival. For unfamiliar or complex chores, scheduled Expert Mode allows a 1X employee to supervise the robot remotely while it learns the task. That human assistance is part of the proposed service, and reserving a NEO does not mean every advertised chore will work independently on delivery.

AgiBot builds humanoids for performance, interaction and development, with A2 Ultra, A2 Lite, X1 and X2 among its models. Its open source X1 gives developers a smaller platform with a quoted two-hour runtime. The larger A2 Ultra specifications list about two kilograms of arm load capacity and support for swappable batteries.
