1X Technologies Europe

1X Technologies (formerly Halodi Robotics, founded 2014 by Bernt Øivind Børnich) is a Norwegian-American humanoid robotics company producing the NEO home robot and the earlier EVE platform. NEO is priced at $20,000 upfront or $499/month, with first-year production (10,000 units) sold out and delivery planned for 2026. Critically, independent reviewers and vendor acknowledgments confirm that the first-generation NEO is NOT autonomously capable: household tasks during demos were performed by a 1X employee via VR teleoperation, and the robot struggles even under remote control. The stated goal is full autonomy, with current early adopters serving primarily as data-gathering participants whose homes are observed by 1X operators via the robot's cameras.
