NEO Gamma

NEO Gamma represents 1X Technologies' consumer-ready evolution of the NEO platform, unveiled on February 21, 2025, as the 'next generation of home humanoids.' Standing 165 cm tall and weighing just 30 kg, NEO Gamma features a distinctive 3D-knitted nylon bodysuit in Scandinavian beige, created in one piece to conform to its humanoid body while ensuring safer, gentler interactions without impeding performance.

NEO Gamma expands to 40 degrees of freedom with 22 DOF per hand enabling human-like grasping. The robot achieves a 10x increase in hardware reliability over Beta and operates at just 22 dB, 10 dB quieter than its predecessor and comparable to a refrigerator. Multi-jointed hands use elastic motors mimicking human tendon movement, encased in soft covers for safe interaction.

Mobility capabilities are remarkable: walking at 1.4 m/s with natural human gait and arm swings, running at up to 6.2 m/s (22.3 km/h), and the ability to squat, sit in chairs, kneel, lie down, and get back up. These dynamic control skills run at 100Hz using reinforcement learning from human motion capture data. 1X's Redwood Mobility controller enables stair navigation using stereo vision. Despite weighing only 30 kg, NEO can lift over 68 kg and carry 25 kg.

The robot features four microphones with beamforming and echo cancellation, plus a three-speaker system for AI voice interactions and 360-degree sound. 1X trained a visual manipulation model capable of picking up objects in diverse scenarios, including environments not seen during training. Available for pre-order at $20,000 (or $499/month subscription), NEO targets folding laundry, organizing shelves, tidying, and answering doors. 1X plans limited 2025 deployments for early adopters, with mass production scaling to 100,000 units by 2027.
